[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1940536, member: 104363"] Hot day can cause a load that is just below it's max pressure to go over pressure. Nosler brass is known to be soft and can be short lived. Recheck your COAL, any jamming possibilities, etc. If you have a carbon ring, get to work on that. That can drive pressures way up due to it restricting the bullet release. I would call Nosler and ask them if there are any pressure related issues they know of and give them your lot numbers. After all this, if Nosler says their ammo is not recalled etc., you might try chilling your ammo and shoot one, then reassess the brass for same condition. Chilling to about 50° F should lower the pressure for a simple test. Otherwise, buy a good manual or get lots of loading data from bullet manufacturers, powder manufactures and buy different brass. Then start your reloading journey right here. Something isn't right with these loads and how its reacting in this rifle and outside temps. You'll find it. Ask for help. [/QUOTE]
