[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 322137, member: 2736"] Nate. Giving someone like you advice Is unnerving but There is one thing that could be making the difference that I have experienced and It would be worth a try. Retumbo is a very unforgiving powder . It can be a great powder in some rifles and be terrible in others. I have had it go critical with just a 2/10 grain increase while working up. I normally work up in 1/2 grain increments and everything will be very linear (More powder,more pressure and more velocity an then all at once they jump in velocity and pressure. I have seen other powders do this and avoid them if I can because of temperature swings of 70 to 80 degrees in my part of the country. There are a lot of good powders out there and I would recommend that you try one of them. You may lose a little velocity but if the right powder is found the consistency will improve and the load won't be as temperamental. From what I have seen and heard your gunsmithing is second to none and the reloading process sounds right so I would look elsewhere for the problem. Just a thought J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
