[QUOTE="jasonco, post: 1566123, member: 15637"] Occurred using beginning load Hornady Data of 51.4gr 143 ELDX, once fire Nosler brass, CCI-200, 84F/humid. 3185 FPS! Case head separation, other half stuck in chamber, extractor broken, ejector destroyed, gun did what it was supposed to do and bodily harm. Repaired it, tested the next day, made some adjustments to charge and seating depth, almost the same result over 3100FPS, done with RL26. This particular rifle does not like any bullet/powder combo over 2950FPS, I re-characterized it this weekend, since last summer, with new Nosler brass, 140 BTHP Match and H4831sc & Retumbo. The almost identical situation in a factory Rem700 300RUM, fine 82F and below, 82F and above it gets nasty real quick. [/QUOTE]
