[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2820369, member: 74061"] These are hot loads at and over book max. The Retumbo load is compressed. You didn‘t mention working up to these loads. Starting at max is pretty risky. I think if you had worked up these loads, you probably would have stopped earlier. I have seen soft brass cause sticky bolt lift at reduced charges before In my 28Nos complete with deep ejector marks, brass shaving sticky bolt lift, and super loose primer pockets. I pulled bullets and started over twice. My velocity data proved to me that an overcharge was impossible and a brass change was the fix. going forward, even if you only shoot one round per charge weight over a chronograph in .2 or .3 grain steps (like the 10-shot satterlee), I think you should.
