[QUOTE="pitsnipe, post: 565464, member: 38300"] Thank you for the input. I think you are correct that the loads that "snap" are likely higher pressure as they are loads at the top end of the bullet mfr's suggested range. I have a few loads made up that back off considerably from there to see if their is much difference in the "type" of recoil. I have been watching for excessive pressures closly. Examining each case after the shot for flattened primers and case stretching. I dont have access to a chrono. So all I have been using as a gauge for what load I will settle for is accuracy. Taking the most accurate loads from the last time at the range and selecting a few for cold bore (the next time to the range) accuracy then with minor fouling, trying others. [/QUOTE]
