[QUOTE="whhood, post: 2395448, member: 117347"] I have a few boxes of Federal Fusion 150gr for a new to me 300 wsm and they are hot! Very visible ejector marks and slight heavy bolt lift. I chronoed these at 3325-3350. I pulled a few down and weighed the factory charge at 67 +/-. I reduced the charge a grain at a time until I ended up at 63.0 with no pressure signs that I can see. Is there an issue with the ammo, rifle (headspace, freebore, jump etc). I don’t know where else to look beyond powder charge. The cartridges that I reduced were fine. If this is acceptable then I don’t mind doing the same to the remaining three boxes of ammo. I’m new to all of this and these are actually the first rounds I’ve ever fired that have come through my press. Thanks Billy [/QUOTE]
