[QUOTE="Rifleman513, post: 1347793, member: 32318"] So I bought a new 257 wby back in January and have been working off and on to work up a load using 110 ABs. I bought one box of the cheaper 100gr loaded ammo to sight in and use the brass later and had no issues. I started with 7828 and started getting flattened primers and very faint ejector circles on loads that were only running 3150-3200 fps. I tried two other listed powders that I had on hand, multiple seating depths, and both Weatherby and Hornady brass. The only thing I didn't change were different primers. So, this week I had enough and bought a box of 100gr Barnes TTSX and started fresh with some new brass. I got a great group with the max charge of 7828 at 3485 w/ a 24". Has anyone had trouble with excessive pressure with minimum or even below book charges and certain bullets. The accuracy was great but I never could get the pressure to come down enough with any decent speeds. I've never had any trouble like this with ABs and other guns I have loaded. [/QUOTE]
