I have learned you do not want to be shooting anything that even gives you slight hard bolt lift. You are asking for trouble. Make sure your brass is sized properly and keep an eye on speeds. Even if you don't have hard bolt lift and you are over the speed you should be for the caliber, bullet combo, back off. If you want faster, go bigger.

I would say start over with 57gr being max in your rifle.
Pressure is pressure. No sense beating up the rifle, brass, and potentially you for more speed.
If H1000 is showing pressure at any temps, you are prolly a touch high.
You didn't mention brass. FWIW, I could only get to 2870 FPS with 140 Bergers and RL23 in a Norma case. Never tried in ADG or with H1000. Don't rely on internet claims of velocity. Find "your" load. Put the 100 or so FPS in a calculator and see there really is not that big a difference at the point the bullet with no longer function.
Dang it, did it again, sucked into another 2 year old thread. Hope the OP got it all sorted.
