[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1376262, member: 33159"] Update Loaded up 9 rounds of RL-26 at 86.6 gr to check velocity and grouping. First 4 rounds gave me 2988, 2991, 2991, 2992 and no issues. 5th round gave me 2997 and a stuck bolt and case!! Temp was in the high 50's which is only a few degrees warmer than the last time I shot. But velocities were about 51-60 fps higher than last time with the same charge. I shot the 4 remaining grouping test rounds and got a sticky to stuck bolt on all of them. Groups were great (0.6-0.7") with both the MagnettoSpeed on and off. I guess the carbon wrapped barrels aren't really effected by the MagnettoSpeed since POI was the same and the groups were almost identical. So, I put a call into Nosler and ended up talking to Mike Seay. He was a little perplexed on why I was having the pressure issues. His conclusion is I have a really good and tight barrel and the monolithic bullets are creating a lot of pressure with this barrel. He said that I obviously need to drop the charge down to a point where I consistently don't get any pressure issues. [/QUOTE]
