260 Rem, Lothar Walther 20" barrel, Savage action.
140gr Speer Spitzer / Lapua brass
No idea on velocities as I was just working up an optimal charge.
44gr RL17, 1/2 MOA. No pressure signs.
Another test I have loaded but not shot yet is Leverevolution, 38-42gr with the Speer 140. I have been surprised at how well LVR performs with short barrels.

Something is not right I had a Remington semi-custom on a long action so I could seat 140 and 140 + bullets out on a Remington action and have a Tikka tac A1 now and the load you are talking about weren't even starting loads for mine I just don't understand where your pressures coming from I will ask what are the signs you are seeing cheers
With all my Savage actions, that's the first symptom before flattening primers. I think it's a function of how weak their extractor is, and the floating bolt head being hammered back onto its bearing surface.Ejector marks and slightly sticky bolt lift
