[QUOTE="mtnelkhunter, post: 2918620, member: 127785"] I did my first round of pressure testing ladders today with the 180 HH and encountered pressure signs earlier than expected - got up to 61.8g of H4350 and only about 2800fps. I was reusing hornady nickle plated brass from factory loads and I am hoping that when I get the ADG brass I just ordered that will help. (The factory loads would sometimes exhibit the same pressure signs and achieve the same 2800fps) As it was I was getting a sticky bolt lift and ejector flow. Primer was a littler flatted but not much. I am new to reloading but am told that Hornady brass is soft and the plated brass doesn’t grip the chamber sides as well. Hopefully I can get it up a bit more with the different brass. [ATTACH type="full"]499787[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]499789[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
