[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1298080, member: 30592"] I've never looked at a S&W rifle so I don't know anything about them. My guess is, the cocking mechanism is the issue not the load. It could be something worn or something as simple as needing lubed. Is it a 60° or a 90° bolt? As for your load, I think you are at the point of too little density with 58 gr of IMR4831. A general rule is to not go below 80% of the case volume. I think H1000 powder will give you the best results with that bullet. [/QUOTE]
