Thread: bolt failure P14

Greetings Again,
I checked the Barnes on line data for the 127 grain LRX BT. They don't list H4831SC or H1000 (AR2213SC and AR2217 respectively) for that matter. They do list RL22 and IMR7828SSC (both slower than AR2213SC) at 58.3 and 56.0 grains max. The Hodgdon/ADI data is for the 129 grain Hornady Interlock. This is noted as a projectile developing less pressure than average while the Barnes projectiles develop notably more. Barnes even lists Retumbo (AR2225) at 62.7 grains max with the 127 grain LRX and this is way slower than AR2213SC. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but I think that the blow up was due to an overload. Barnes projectiles need special data with loading especially with the .264 Winchester which is known to be a bit grumpy at times. At least you didn't use Nick Harvey's 6th edition load of 68 grains. More than the rifle could have been scrap with that.
Regards and commiserations Grandpamac
