    had the same rifle (no longer tho) and got that when charge at top end/older cases.
    Also shows as bright ring on case at top of base; then eventually cracking....
    ymmv

    Looks hot for a lever action. Back it off a bit and full length size every time.

    the BLR while being a lever action actually has a bolt that is controlled by planetary gears controlled by the lever. pretty damn strong action. i used mine with some pretty hot loads with no issue (308)

    Cheers guys. Yep i fl size. Ill chrono, and likely back off 1 gr below max anyways, just cos. Intend3d for inside 150 so the extra speed wont be missed.

    Its a fairly heavy stamp.
    fed brass is pretty soft in the head and does stamp easily compared to say lapua.
    Backing off half a grain/a grain probably a good idea.

    Yeah. Still no where near the extraction power as a turn bolt though. I owned a MLR in 308 for 5 years and shot factory ammo and reloads. Great rifle but I would never run it as hot as my bolt actions.
