[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2221109, member: 10429"] My 2 cents. I think if for the powder charge weight and the velocity seen/recorded maybe you have tight chamber our your neck is tight. On the flip side of this from what I was told I had a 6..5X284 that hit pressure early with a charge that should had produce about 75 to 100fps faster than what I was seeing. A smith told me that my chamber was slightly over sized. Even with slower powders like retumbo best I could get was about 2900fps/140 berger and then pressure would show up. So at least your not on that side of things. Not that that the gun shot bad I just had to run it at 2860. So even if you loose about 25 to 50fps its not that big of a difference and if you have a tight bolt lift then you need to back off the load. Don't want to end up with a hamburger face from a blown up bolt. [/QUOTE]
