[QUOTE="Wildboar, post: 619252, member: 39708"] I'm shooting a Stevens 200 w' Criterion 26" 1 in 8 .260. Since the last election when powder, primers dried up I no longer rely on just one load. So I used H4350, IMR4350 and RL-17 so far with Amax and Barnes Match 140 gr bullets. All loads are roughly pushing 2875 fps. 43.0 gr RL17/ 140 gr Barnes Burner/ Win .243 case/ cci200/ 2.87 oal 43.5 gr IMR4350/ 140 Barnes Burner/ win .243 case/ cci 200/ 2.87 oal 44.2 gr H4350/ 140 Amax/ Rem .260 case/ gm210m/ 2.88 oal These have been shot in ladder test and worked up higher with no pressure, but these were my accuracy loads. I'm now playing with bullet seating depth. Are you in the lands or off and by how much. Also some say winchester has a soft cup on there primers. Are your pressure signs primer cratering/flattening or sticky bolt lift? I had pressure issues in the past with this gun but the headspace was off by .005. Re-headspaced it at .002 and no pressure issues. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
