[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1943288, member: 26477"] Several things here happening. First, you are shooting a 52gn. bullet which is 2 grains over the 50 grain load tested. As a bullet increases in weight the volume of powder decreases. So you are too hot on your load to begin with and this is if your rifle is matched identically with the testing rifle listed in the book. Your cases have been fire formed, and from the way you load to the max, I suspect you fire formed them also too hot. This caused a very fast stretching and stress to the brass coupled with overloaded reloads. I would really like to see your primer on this piece of brass. Question, why do you want to destroy your barrel life using such hot loads when 3400fps will double it? [/QUOTE]
