[QUOTE="jraulsten, post: 2451274, member: 96652"] Definitely need a slower burning powder. I also learned the hard way that you don't use virgin brass for pressure testing and don't bother with it until your barrel is broken in (speeds up as much as it's going to). Otherwise all you do is trash a lot of your brass and go through a lot of components chasing your tail. I typically end up putting about 100 rounds through my new barrels at mild loads, note if speed has increased and is staying constant, and then do the pressure testing if you want. At the first sign of pressure I back off a good bit and throw that piece of brass in the trash. [/QUOTE]
