Even Factory ammo can be over pressure!

[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2123043, member: 26227"] I have seen factory loads be over pressured in a factory Remington 700 308 Win long range hunter. factory loads would blow primers. nearly impossible bolt lift, (primary extraction cam was working) and starting loads from my new book from Nosler were producing over maximum speeds over the sky screens. the starting loads were also getting flow back from the primers, cutting nice small holes in the primers. I immediately called Remington and let them know. We cast the chamber and found not much except that SAAMI minimum spec was being observed. AKA very tight chamber. eventually the gun was shipped to Remington Arms and it came back with a slightly larger chamber. Side note. If we down loaded the 308's 1.2 grains under minimum loads we had a one hole gun at 300 yards. this was an extrememly tempermental and very accurate rifle. the only thing wrong is the customer did not want to reload his own. He only bought factory Federal Gold Match ammo. [/QUOTE]
