[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1789713, member: 97793"] No expert here. Above 65,000 psi , brass may not spring back after firing. This shows up as hard bolt lift. With no pressure testing equipment, we can only guess. But 1 thing for sure, when the primer falls out within 5 firing, pressure is to high. Reduce the powder charge. SAAMI Proof loads are 93,000 PSI maximum for the Weatherby. I would love to know how they get brass out of a chamber. Sorry, not much help. [/QUOTE]
