I think it'll end up about the same depending on how my brass is after the over pressures from lubricant residue. I have given the rifle a deep clean and will get out and try again with both I think. The reason I'm leaning towards the overpressure coming from the lubricant is that I could see the smears on the side of the cases where I had applied the lube and it wasn't on every round and wasn't consistent with increasing charge weights. I will purchase an endoscope next week so I can check for carbon rings anyway, they sure are cheap enough.

On the plus side, I should have the barrel broken in in no time at all
