I think I might of solved the problem. Scales over weighing by 1.4 grains .
I’ve loaded some RL26 and will try tomorrow and see what that’s like

Wow.
That could have got you in trouble.
Let us know how you get on.
You never said barrel length?

Luckily for a cartridge like this the amount of overweighing is actually quite a low percentage of the overall case volume. But that’s never the kind of outcome you want from your equipment eh.

No it’s not . The rifle runs boarder line pressure and I loaded some more rounds last week but couldn’t figure out why I was getting pressure when nothing had changed . Everything was from the same batch numbers as the last rounds .

Tried RL26 hit pressure at 56grs @3117fps so I’m going to stick with n170 for now . I’ve just bought another action so going to build a new saum on longer barrel and get it chambered in no neck turn .
