[QUOTE="Bughole, post: 616782, member: 40718"] There is a multitude of things that could be going on. Just some of the things to consider< Did you change powder lots, and or bullet lots. I've had bullets from different lots of the same company, and make, mike out 3 to 4 ten thousands different affecting pressure. Are you using the same brass etc., Are your case length dimensions correct(this is huge and if your cases are stretched overlength you can really screw up an action or your life) Some people are too lazy to check this and simply keep loading and shooting. Is your neck diameter correct for your rifle or have they thickened, needing about 3 to 4 thousandths for proper clearance in a hunting rifle. What were the weather and temp conditions at the different firing times, Is your barrel clean? A dirty barrel can have a significant impact on pressure and velocity, I don't mean do you think that it's clean I mean is it really clean. Just some things to consider, and yes any kind of bolt lift problem is of concern, It is one of the tell tale signs of too much pressure. Figure it out or get someone to with the knowledge to help you. Good Lucklightbulb [/QUOTE]
