[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 602141, member: 4491"] i have 2 guns in that chamber that i've shot 225TTSX,250SMK, 285 HORNADY, and 300SMK gr bullets. i think the 1000 works best with the 285-300 bullets, and pretty good with the 250's. I think the 869 would be a little slow for the 250-265 bullets. someone asked about seating depth. i would think you might be in a double ignition situation with too slow a powder and a light charge as you've already mentioned. i can fill my cases up with 1000 and not have pressure issues with the 250's. Norma MRP for the 225's! something else you might check is the spring pressure of the firing pin. a weak spring can cause this type of thing. [/QUOTE]
