    BLR sticky extraction

    One out of 30 rnds fired in lever action. Sticky to extract. Ill prolly back the max powder charge back half gr to be safe and also bin the brass and start with new, am using diff headatamps..... thoughts?

    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....

    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.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
