The OP specifically stated he did not want to blow up his rifle or face.

No problems with the 85gr hp the 160gr needs to be backed off a little. My Remington 721 has had the 85gr hp and 100gr hp and BTs run through it for 50+ years has a new barrel which is a Shilen heavy varmint 30 inch barrel since 2010.The OP specifically stated he did not want to blow up his rifle or face.
Unless he changed his mind, he wants his build with a short action. My .264 WM is a long action, specifically built for the 156 Berger.

We went over loads development back and forth for weeks, maybe even months. Checked his case measurements against mine, powder, bullets, primers, etc.
I believe, in the end, his barrel had a tight spot that would cause pressures before it should have.

7 Sherman short tactical if I didn't have a 338 Sherman short. My current load is 225 CX with 57.5 and 58 grains of H4350. I am rolling my own and plan to get my velocity tomorrow. I like the 338 SS, you should check them out.
