[QUOTE="ronsyre, post: 1584434, member: 24619"] I had a similar problem with a nickel steel Remington 1903 Springfield i started like you with pressure signs ,a tight bolt,all else looked good.Now I was young ,stupid and very lucky I put the rifle up that day went home and scrubbed the chamber with scotch brite so the expanded case got a better grip on the chamber . I found the hotter I loaded it the smaller the group got .So when i was shooting one hole groups at 200 yards I asked one of the guys with a chronograph if i could shoot one over his sky screens .Results 190 grain BTHP AT 3120 fps All seemed good until I started talking with the owner of the chronograph. He asked if I had rechambered it to 300 win mag . i said no it was just a 30-06 I was told I was lucky I didn't blow it up he estimated i was at about 73000 lbs chamber pressure. What I learned do not load a 30-06 with winchester 748 powder The rifle still shoots well but you could buy case lots of nickel steel Remington 1903 Springfield rifles for$20 each.I made it to the far side of 70 .All I can say is thank you FATHER [/QUOTE]
