[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2120303, member: 101791"] To start with you used one reloading manual and another manufactures bullets. That a no no to start with. Each manufacture builds their bullet different somewhat. I am surprises that your primer aren't flat with ejector marks starting to showing up. Some powders change greatly in different temperatures. I haven't reloaded 26, but I ran into temperature changes 20 years ago with IMR Powders. Push a primer out of the case. Switch to H powers, and never looked back. Gave away my IMR powders (24lbs) at the time. I do load above the reloading manuals call out for. Back then I use to step up at .1gr at a time. Depending on the case sizes, and loading in uncharted areas, I now go up from .25 to ..5 grains at a time presently, and depends on burn rate. I take great care when increasing my powder loads. I never use other loading data for a different bullet. I may reference other manuals to see what they have. I have a great many reloading manuals and I don't throw them out either. Things are changing and barrel twist rate are increasing, so the reloads manuals might be using a different twist rate than your rifle. I started reloading in 1962. As far as manufacture velocity and what you get out of your rifle is two different things. I will attach a Extreme Rifle chart. It doesn't have all the powders. BE SAFE! [/QUOTE]
