[QUOTE="Buckys, post: 2773953, member: 107750"] I'm not terribly experienced yet and have had plenty. The one that sticks out was COAL when trying different bullets ... different ogive designs ended with one experiment touching the lands with a low-medium powder charge from the reloading manual for that bullet in that cartridge ended with a heavy bolt lift. Fortunately, I decided to not shoot that gun again until I figured out what happened and shortly thereafter started measuring everything with the hornady lnl oal gauge with modified cases and calculating my own COAL to keep them 30-80 thous off the lands.
