[QUOTE="Andrewmtnman, post: 1822599, member: 112562"] Well, I feel like a fool. I should have checked myself, but ASSumed what I was told about it being a 6.5-300 wby. Best I see now, with the barrel stamped 6.5 H&H imp mag, its a little different. Not much, but enough that those loads were way hot. So I continued dropping one grain at a time and found once I got down to 79 grains the high pressure signs were gone. By the way I call Hogdon and they were very nice, but could not help me because it was a wildcat cartridge. Looked high and low for some load data on this cartridge and came up nearly empty handed. Best I can do at this point is use the load info for the 6.5-300 and drop it down the same percentage that I just did. I should also buy a chrono so I can see how its performing. Any other advise would be well taken. [/QUOTE]
