[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2565278, member: 115658"] I saw a 6.5-06 that had a real bad lockup when the owner loaded H4895 instead of H4831 - some number resemblence. As expected, it locked the bolt and the barrel needed to be removed from the receiver to clean the mess up. It was a pre 64 M70. The cartridge head was smeared over the bolt face and needed to be picked off, floor plate blown open. Checked out as OK, possibly with new extractor & floor plate, reassembled and back into use. My TiteGroup & Staball6.5 powders closely resemble each other, close enough so I store my pistol powders in a separate wood box. Putting a hasp & padlock on the pistol powder box would be a good idea. The powder bottles are shaped & feel like each other but have different labels. Must have been one compressed load with 27 grains of CFE223 & 80 grain bullet loaded for magazine use - that should have been an alert to impending destruction - kaboom. Hodgdon 80 grain Sierra bullet & CFE223 data, COAL 2.380: [TABLE] [TR] [TD]2.380"[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]23.0[/TD] [TD]2,638[/TD] [TD]46,700 PSI[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]24.4[/TD] [TD]2,785[/TD] [TD]53,600 PSI[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
