I have been having a hell of a time trying to work up a load without having pressure signs. They are shooting great but so far the only load not showing pressure is running 2880. While that velocity isn't the end of the world, I expected a little bit more after reading through the posts in the 6 creed thread in the other reloading forum. The rifle has a 26" 1:7.5 and I am using H4350, alpha srp 6.5 brass necked down, and CCI 41 primers. I initially tried them loaded at the lands and after finding pressure I backed them off .02 and that didn't really help with the pressure but shot really well. The brass is trimmed and the neck clearance is plenty. Is there something I am missing that could cause pressure at this low of a charge? Factory Hornady 108's are running 3050 and I loaded some 108's up to over 42 grains in Hornady brass and hit 3150 but went with 41.4 to stay at 3050.
38.2 had no pressure signs at all but pressure starts at 38.6 with a faint ejector swipe and slightly heavier than normal lift at the top of the extraction.
I don't have to have a shit ton of velocity and if 2880 is it I can live with that but if there is something causing the pressure that I can fix I want to fix it. Thanks in advance.
