[QUOTE="Carman, post: 596799, member: 40372"] Reporting back on the results of the trimmed casings....CFVICKERS.....you were dead right. Trimming the cases back to 2.61 resolved all issues. I trimmed the cases, loaded the same load I have been using the past 18 months in the Ruger (75.4 grains of RL22 with a 180 grain Nosler E-Tip). Fired one and no problem with a sticky bolt at all. Fired 9 more and still no problem. Was more concerned with sticky bolt than trying to shoot tight groups, but all 10 were easily inside 1.5" at 100 yards. chronographed all 10 shots and all ranged from 2975-2981 with chronograph 10 feet from the end of the barrel. No flat primers, no loose primer pockets, no sticky bolt, no ejection problems, and nothing maimed or dead except the target I was aiming at. Learned plenty from everyone that commented and all comments are appreciated. This is a great place to get answers. Just curious though.....would like to hear everyone else's recipe for 300 Win Mag loads with 180 grain bullets. The E-Tip is OK for deer hunting, but I am going moose hunting this year and would like opinions about what would be good for moose. [/QUOTE]
