[QUOTE="Patriot007, post: 1911073, member: 111276"] LOL, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one on here that is a member of Loaddata.com. I don't think I fully got the point in your 1st post. I kind of see where your coming from now. I will say this, I have never found any load data that worked perfect in my rifles. I had to use them as a reference point and work from there. When I get a heavy bolt lift, I bump my shoulder back about .0002, but then again, part of my case prep is bumping the shoulder back .002, so that is never an issue. One thing is a fact. When you fire a shot and the bolt is sticking, you probably surpassed the max pressure point. There's nothing like the site of bolt slap on the base of the case. Back when I first started reloading, no chrono, and magic spells, I was trying to perfect my loads similar to your post. That was a many rabbit holes and grey hairs ago. The way I would approach your problem would be find the max load with no signs of pressure and work my loads down in .0003 gn increments and watch for point of impact on the target. once I found a load with a good small group. I would work with that charge weight and try adjusting my bullet seating death. Hopefully, I found an acceptable load for that rifle, and bullet, with a small group. Also, if you change a component like a primer, bullet, case, powder you will have to start you latter test all over again. I'm CCI primer fan, but I fined my self shooting more Federal match magnum primers in my CreedMoor and 308. They give me the most bang for the buck and there **** good primers. That way primers will not be an issue for you. [/QUOTE]
