[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1098415, member: 48043"] I'm glad you didn't blow anything off of yourself. It takes gumption to admit you've screwed up. Come on over to the dark side and punch her out to 7stw. Then you can run 3100 fps with your 180's with ease if you've got slow enough powder. h&h brass is available to blow out and you can buy Nosler if you feel rich. As to your powder, you may have also added weight via humidity and actually been shooting a bit lighter charge than you thought you were. I doubt you lost more than a bit of nitro, but even a bit could have also helped you along also. People speaking of book loads being mild has always scared me a bit. I've blown primers on an occasion or two with book loads. All it takes is the stars to align a bit out of your favor and you not being quite careful enough to cause bad things to happen. [/QUOTE]
