[QUOTE="northhunter, post: 2258639, member: 118849"] Has anyone else been getting pressure signs at lower powder charges with their Christensen Arms rifles with factory barrels? I just bought at Mesa in 6.5 prc and am unable to reach the speeds I want because I keep getting pressure signs before I get to max powder charge. I am using the 123 Absolute Hammers. I want to hit between 3200 and 3300 fps and am having no luck. I’ve tried some of the loads posted on the Absolute Hammer thread and can’t seem to get the speeds. I’ve tried Staball, RL22, 4831sc, and just last night was able to order some RL26. I haven’t been able to get over 3213fps and that was with heavy bolt lift. I’ve also tried 215M and CCI 200 primers. The 4831sc produced numbers similar to the load data for the 127LRX on Barnes website. A friend of mine was getting pressure signs with the factory Hornady eldm’s in his Ridgeline. Is this the way CA makes their barrels or am I doing something wrong? Thanks everyone PS- I still love the gun and plan on keeping it if I can’t reach my speeds. In that case I will adapt. [/QUOTE]
