[QUOTE="Rocketeer77, post: 2390182, member: 119378"] Have a budget build with a Howa action & barrel, laminated glass bedded stock along with a decent Bushnell scope. With 130gr ELD-M projectiles and 57gr of H1000 powder new Norma brass it groups very well at around 0.5 MOA and that’s after only thirty off rounds from new, average velocity seen is 2,900 FPS with only 16 FPS velocity spread. But seeing quite heavy bolt lift, rear of cases marked and flattened primers (not too bad). I have some unused Hornady factory rounds 143gr ELD-X. So it looks like excess pressure signs along with slower velocities than I expected. Would like to hear your thoughts on possible issues, again it’s only had thirty rounds through a new OEM barrel [/QUOTE]
