Even Factory ammo can be over pressure!

[QUOTE="Littlehud, post: 2121943, member: 85418"] Years ago I bought a brand new Rem. 700 in 22-250. I took it out to shoot it with factory ammo and nearly blew it up. There was definite signs of over pressure with FLAT primers, and head stamp starting to flatten. I sent the gun back to Remington where they determined the chamber was cut too short, and fixed it. Even after that I could never load higher than slightly over mid range for any given load or I started to flatten primers. Factory loads were out of the question as far as I was concerned. It turned out to be extremely picky for accuracy unless you had the precise recipe for the load, and then it would shoot 1/4" or less. Vary the bullet seating depth by .005" and it went to 6" groups. I finally decided it was too picky and sold it. Yes, I did explain all this to the buyer and he didn't care. [/QUOTE]
