[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 312699, member: 1403"] Tell ya what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna load up the same cases I shot those groups with at that velocity and see what the primer pockets feel like when seating the new primer. They dont "look" like anything is wrong, but I dont claim to be an expert on pressure signs, but its pretty obvious as well when you do get them... My 300g SMK loads definately have a stiffer bolt lift at 2840fps then those 215's at 3450fps did. I"m going shooting in the morning so I'll have some more info. Gotta remember to get a new duracell 9v battery on the way to! LTLR- About those 215g gamekings, you shoot any elk with them? If so, how far were they and how did the bullets hold up?? I've shot and or loaded a few gamekings over the years in 25-06, 270, 7 RM and 300 WM and I've found them to be a pretty soft bullet actually on deer shoulders at long range still.
