    What I meant was, that getting up to max loads raises heart rate and blood pressure - same as driving a fast car, a womans inner thigh, letters from IRD etc etc and should be avoided if suffering high BP

    @rambo-6mmrem I learnt today that Federal primers are actually a few thou bigger in diameter than other brands, so maybe the primer pockets are made slightly bigger as well

    Got out with norma brass in the 270 yesterday
    All issues gone
    Even tryed 0.5gn hotter with no issues

    Besides slight primer Craters which just seems to be a thing with this rifle dose it with even mildest of loads
