[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 215554, member: 2011"] Derek, Great post. However "[B]Unfortunately[/B], even though the bolt lifted fine, the primers showed cratering, mildly, surrounding the firing pin indentation. No sticky bolt at all, fired cases measured fine. Unfortunatly??????? Its a personal preference thing, I suppose, but your use of "mildly" pretty much defines a not near maximum load.;) Regarding US869 and Nosler 150 Ballistic Tips. @ 30 or so degress and 101.8 grains its pretty much tops. I've backed down to 101 gr and 3500 FPS. As you said accuracy is unbelievable. I sure wish the Bergers had a better BC but then, the WC 169.5s are available. 99 grains of US 869 and the 169 WC for 3300 is max in mine. ES/SDs aren't so great though. Will be interested in you chrono data. Don't get tinkeritus and run 100 unnecessary bullets down the tube. Nevertheless she's holding up just fine. I'm glad you like her. [/QUOTE]
