[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2450857, member: 68015"] A friend called yesterday after shooting his 350 Legend and told me he had loads developed in colder weather that were showing extractor marks. He had to hammer the bolt open for one round. He was using Lil-Gun powder and a Hornady 147 gr XTP bullet for plinking loads. He had no chrono data but his load of 27.1 gr was within Hodgdons safe range of 27-28.5 gr for the 147 gr bullet. He said Hornady told him to start at 27 gr as it was minimum for a 150 gr bullet. I scratched my head a bit over it and recalled my 454 isn't recommended to use standard XTP bullets at Casull pressures because the jacket will swell and send pressures skyrocketing and Hornady makes a heavy jacketed magnum bullet for the 454. I think maybe the extra 30 degrees was enough to raise pressure to the point the XTP deformed entering the throat. Has anyone had a similar experience? [/QUOTE]
