[QUOTE="westTXcrd, post: 1771754, member: 111630"] First post so bear with me. Rifle is model 10 savage in 308 with heavy contour 20" barrel. I have had the gun for around ten years. It was finicky but i finally found a load she loves. LC brass, rem primer, imr 4895 @46gr. 155gr amax. Shot lights out. I did two things recently to give the ol gal a facelift, she got cerakoted. I also have a can coming (Q trash panda), so i had the barrel threaded and put on a cherry bomb break (Q's version of quick detach). Grabbed some of my loads off the shelf when I got the gun back and first round, the primer spit out. After a few more showing signs of pressure, i went back and stuffed some more trickling each etc, and still showing signs of pressure. The load shoots well still, but dangerous. Can a break change the pressure that much? also, i screwed my buddies can onto my break and had a poi shift of 7" which i thought seemed a little excesive but i am new to whisper pickles.. any ideas yall?
