[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1952634, member: 10755"] If you are not getting hangfires, it is quite safe to keep adding powder, even a grain at a time, until you get slightly stiff bolt lift. Then back off 2 grains. I built 2 rifles within a year of the 300WSM coming out in 25-300WSM (Pronghorn as it is known) and the 2 rifles exhibited exactly what you are experiencing, my buddy and I loaded the exact same components/powder/primer and we had dented case shoulders, soot all the way to the case head and backed out primers. Wasn’t until we approached 257 Weatherby data that it went away. Also experienced it with a 7RUM I built, had me as nervous as a chook in a fox den. I am building a 6.5SAUM as we speak, so watching with interest to the outcome. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
