[QUOTE="climb-101, post: 1090738, member: 31921"] have you shot it over a chronograph? that will tell you a lot of info. also what does the case necks look like. how far down the neck is the smoke? from what i learned on my lapua is that the books arnt always right for every gun. I was getting ejector marks no matter what i tryed but the bolt was still easy to lift. once i shot it over the chrono i figured out that i was shooting way faster than the books said i should, I am still working up a load but 2 grains under the lowest book value is still still gives me close to the upper end for speed for what they give on the max powder. on the last 5 shots I was still getting a slight ejector mark and i was was loading to the book length, not sticking the bullet out, i ran them all over the chrono and there was 11 ft/sec deviation so i think im getting close. I was going to try droping it down 1 more grain and see if it still gives me as good of a group on paper and as good on the speed deviation. without an ejector mark. [/QUOTE]
