[QUOTE="woods, post: 419620, member: 6042"] I've been using Remington brass and I lose the primer pockets if I go over 94 gr RL25 with the 225 gr TTSX. When I first got the gun I got excellent results with max loads of RL25 [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/TARGETS/RL25-975.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/TARGETS/RL25-98.jpg[/IMG] I dropped down to 96 gr but still had loose pockets so now I am loading at 94 gr and getting 3080 fps, which is just fine with me. I think my problem is because I had the gunsmith short throat the chamber so the smaller combustion chamber meant I had to use less powder. I think the Remington brass is soft also. There were no other pressure signs other than the pockets. No shiny spots, no hard bolt lift and no flattened primers. [/QUOTE]
