[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 934791, member: 35183"] So only 2 powder loads and jammed vs a tiny jump ? 42gr is listed as being a max charge, but depending on seating depth - who knows ? If I were you, you should load some with a 0.020 - 0.030 jump and then a range of charges from 40.5 in half grain increments to 1 gr over the listed max charge. Make sure everything else about the rifle has been ironed out. Trigger adjusted ? Bedding optimized ? Recoil lug and nut + barrel checked for clearance except for back face of lug ? Tang floated ? Action screws torqued (leave the one behind the trigger guard, it is a wood screw). Scope base bedded ? Scope base fasteners loctited ? Rings moved forward on the base (if it is a picatinny style). Once you find a powder node that looks decent, then tweak the jump to see if it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
