[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2773753, member: 63925"] When I first started reloading, bought press and dies for .270. Did not have manual so called "friend" who I thought was "experienced" and knew what he was doing. Told him I had IMR 4831 for 130SP Hornady. He gave me load data for H4831 and told me to start at max though he didn't tell me the bottom load was max nor that it was for H4831. Told me to try several loads 1 gr up. Well first load was pretty snappy but being new no inkling. Second load and got blow back out bolt port on Savage 110 and hard lift. Hmmm that doesn't seem right. Thought I made mistake so fired off next load one shot. Which was all I could do, bolt stuck, went home got it open. Talked to "friend" and "oops my mistake"! Lesson learned and bought Hornady manual asap. [/QUOTE]
