[QUOTE="normyt, post: 1710169, member: 94192"] Looking back at my records. I was originally reloading 35gn Varget & 50Gn Hornady V-Max bullet. In Feb 2016 I bought a Scorpion Red Hot scope calibrated for 55Gn bullet. So I started reloading with 35gn Varget with a 55Gn Hornady V-Max bullet. This is over max load per Hornady Load Book (34.6gn for 55Gn bullet) Once I got that scope sighted in I probably shot minimum 300-400 rounds. As per my previous post my remaining reloads after incident varied from 34.6gn to 37gn so I thinking maybe after that many overloads rifle may have developed some kind of metal fatigue until that one bullet. Any thoughts on that theory? [/QUOTE]
