Hey guys -
Question for you, anyone shooting a AX260 with a Bartlien barrel? I just picked up one recently and did some load development on it.
Virgin Lapua Brass -
@ 43.5 H4350 I was seeing extractor marks. Load ended up being 42.5gr H4350, BR2 @ 2.865" OAL. w/ 139 Scenars
Bug holes with this and flies at 2807
So, no evident pressure signs with this load
However, now I get to my second firing with the brass and now... 1 out of 5 I get a pierced primer. Bolt gets all jacked where you have to pull the bolt, disassemble and then you can have a working bolt again.
Brass was body sized, and neck sized with Redding Dies.
Anyone else have this problem?
