    The projectile was 520 to 550 grains and shot over long range out to 1,000 yards on the Creedmoor Range in New York. Velocity was 1,300 to 1,400 fps. Similar to the cartridges used in the US now for...

    Greetings All, Sounds to me that all your loads are too hot. Traditional pressure signs don't show up on cases until pressures are well over max, 70,000 psi or more. Additionally the Federal cases...
