Yeah that makes sense, my creedmoor does the same thing. I run 143 ELDX out almost jammed, if i shorten the coal with the same powder charge the velocity goes up and i run into pressure.

Yep, there is no magic receipe, I see people testing load given on internet more and more without working on a ladder this is worrying. I would definitely NOT try 66.4gn with magnum primer.
