[QUOTE="Carman, post: 598964, member: 40372"] Hahaha. No, I don't compete. I just love to shoot. That's why I took up reloading. I reload for my AR15, 9MM pistol, my M1 Garand, and just recently for my 300 Win Mag. Never had any issues with reloading until recently. I sold my Ruger 300 Win Mag and bought a Savage LRH in the same caliber. I shot one of the loads I had been shooting from the Ruger and it stuck the bolt in the Savage. I know you read all about it because you commented about it. Turns out that I needed to trim the casings a bit. The load was fine after that but I have switched from RL22 to H1000. Started working up loads from 74 grains and finally settled at 77.7 grains and 2940 fps. Anything loaded up from there started causing sticky bolt again. I can shoot XP3 180 gr ammo at 3000 fps but I can't work up a load past 2950 without getting the sticky bolt. I wish like hell I could sneak in and steal about 50 pounds of winchesters powder and a bunch of XP3 bullets. That's about the only way I could load up anything with the velocity and consistency that their load has. I have decided that is the one caliber that I am going to just buy off the shelf because I can't build anything even close that will shoot from the Savage. The tolerance in this particular chamber is just very low. Went and had it checked by a gunsmith and he said it was the least forgiving he has ever seen, but that is why it puts holes in the holes with the XP3 ammo. [/QUOTE]
