I have yet to exceed published data on particular weights. Today was a perfect example to not exceed any publushed data. My issue may have been due to over stressed brass though. I got nine shots down range and everything was fine. Average fps chronographed was 2110. The tenth and last round for the day left the rifle with a bigger bang than expected. I could not lift the bolt handle without tapping it with a small brass hammer i keep with me. The case was shattered inside the chamber, the case head was in two pieces, and when i got the bolt out of the reciever, the small locking lug was chipped and the reciever was cracked just in front of the bolt release.

I will be pulling all my 215 pills from all 100 cartridges remaining. Honkytonk, PM me if you want some brass fishing weights sent to you...
