[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 2083779, member: 87887"] Your load looks about right. You could try a faster burning powder but that would only mask the problem. What you have going on is good in the sense that it has identified an incorrect headspace problem, whether caused by the chambering process or reloading. At least your load wasn't high enough to stretch the brass by driving the head back against the bolt and thinning it above the web. You can get some measurements and contact your smith, do as others suggest and back off your load and jam the bullet into the lands (the easiest), or neck up a size and neck size back down to create a false shoulder with the correct headspace. You have options. Its a great cartridge. I'm loving mine. [/QUOTE]
