[QUOTE="Sam Summey, post: 1709205, member: 109601"] The fact that the bolt was trashed along with the barrel/receiver interface I would say too much powder. I don't think it was a double charge but maybe the result of "bridging" of the stick powder in the measure. If not that an obstruction near the chamber that caused excessive pressure. 35 gr is a legal Varget load for a 55 gr bullet. I certainly would pull down the rest of that vintage ammo and check the powder. [/QUOTE]
