[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1988150, member: 38048"] I wouldn't be too concerned with jamming these but as I said you can only jam them a tiny bit or you can't close your bolt. I would definitely reduce your charge and work back up to a max. Tomorrow I will put some jump on them and see if I can go up in charge weight without the ejector mark. 3500 shows no pressure at all at 61 gr. But the 62 did have a mark at 3575. If they still shoot good jumped and I can go more on the powder 3600 might be had. I only tried the .002 jam to replace the crimping that I can not do with inline seating dies. I normally never shoot 0 on the jump/jam because it's to finicky but maybe these bullets are consistent enough to try. 0 is not a good place normally because plus or minus .001 is jump or jam depending. Maybe .002 jump will still help with ignition and let the bolt close easier. Much more testing to do. At 750 yards this load gives me 1200 ft pounds. Thats 300 less than my 147eldm load. The 123 load is .75 moa flatter to 750. My 147 load has 1200 ft pounds to 950 yards. The 123 only has 850 ft pounds at 950. Since I don't like muzzle brakes I can tell you the 123 is a cream puff to shoot. Can't wait to put one on a deer. Think I will try superformance tomorrow also and see. I would like to see a tip on these like on a ttsx and see how much the bc improves. Even if the bullet was cut for tips and we had to insert them ourself I for one would do it. I'm sure that big hole in the front is keeping the bc low. Shep [/QUOTE]
