[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 987771, member: 10"] Looking at the brass its curious to me that there are only one or two visible ejector rings on the case head but you say you have loaded it 10 times each. Rem brass as well as Nosler brass is quite soft and even with factory RUM ammo such as 300 RUM, you will see a noticeable ejector ring on the case head. At your pressure levels, you should easily see the ejector ring. This is really not a problem but I would think you would see many more rings on the case head then what your brass is showing. Looks like a bit to much shoulder bump on your case sizing. That is ususally the result of the case wall stretching and thinning resulting in separation. Anyway, at 3020 fps, I would say your right at the very top end of where you should be with a 32" barrel length and long throat length. At least much more realistic then 3150 fps!!! Your entire system should be much happier at this velocity level. Watch that shoulder bump while FL sizing. [/QUOTE]
