[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1589262, member: 50852"] So it's been months ago that I followed all of this and obviously it hasn't been solved. I ran the numbers on QuickLOAD. 230 grain Berger Hybrids, 86.8 grains of Hogdon Retumbo = 96.4 % case fill, 56,932 psi max chamber pressure, 2748 fps muzzle velocity in a 26" Barrel. If he were to have by mistake used 90.0 grains of Retumbo, the case would be 99.9 % full and max chamber pressure would be 64,351 psi. Highly unlikely that would cause the rifle to self destruct. There is no way on God's green earth he could double charge the case with Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
