[QUOTE="mrultramag, post: 87360, member: 4467"] 180 pilot, I'm getting 3450 fps with a load of 95 gr RL25, 150 partition, Fed 215, Oal 3.670. Have experienced no problems whatsoever. The dented case is usually caused from underpressure or brass that has hardened to the point that it won't expand reliably in the neck area for a good gas seal. Is that something else going on down by the case head area in that photo? I think that I would get that gun a thorough looking at by a very competent gun shop. I think something is not right. Look at/measure/concentricity,etc. of chamber and bore. Have you played with different powders like retumbo to see how it stacks up against what hodgdon says you get with their data? Have you tried a different lot# of RL25? When the powder charges and performance don't jive it gets a little spooky. I understand when it says a recipe will give you 3300 and your getting 3250 but when recipe says you should be getting 3000 and your getting 3300 that's what would scare me. and...if that gun can't even stomach the wimpy factory 7 rum loading I would start talking to Savage about standing behind their product and replacing your rifle.
