[QUOTE="Fire306, post: 779006, member: 12409"] Moto450, I agree with 7STW, if you seat them way out there you will start having trouble ejecting a live round. My Sako 75 the max I could get into the magazine was 3.700" and the live rounds would still eject when needed. One thing I would suggest when trying loads is to try ladder testing. It saves running countless rounds down the barrel just to get through load development. 5 rounds of each load starts adding up your round count very quickly, and unless you have really good patience to spread out each of those 5 shots, the thin factory barrel heats up terribly through a 5 shot string. For what its worth as well, my Sako 75 loved H1000 right at 80gr with 160gr Accubonds. I couldn't get the velocity where I wanted with Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
