[QUOTE="Vol1975, post: 1975047, member: 100380"] A question and I would like some general thoughts. I’ve not seen this before. First- after a light clean of the barrel I noticed that I had pressure signs on brass for the first couple of shots. After a couple fouling shots 5 or so then signs basically went away. My pressure signs were ejector marks but no flattened primers or no bolt lift issues. load is for a 300 prc ADG brass with 215 Berger’s pushing it around 2925 FPS. N570 82 gr. 24 inch barrel 10t barrel clean was basically hopps clean with patched and Then dry patch out. Nothing aggressive but I’d call it clean. during load work up I had no ejector mark so I chalk it up to barrel needing to be fouled. I went .5 gr higher on initial powder Charges but never seen Ejector marks. I stopped there because I like speed and accuracy. also funny thing is every once in a while I’ll see A ejector mark On the brass. Maybe 1 in 10. firings on gun is 112. maybe I’m just on the edge of pressure. any thoughts beside not cleaning the thing. [/QUOTE]
