When I was at the range today I had a high pressure indication from a round I fired.. The bolt seemed tight when I ejected the spent casing. I'm shooting a 300 ultra mag, my load is 80g IMR4350, 180g accubond bullets, CCI 250 primer with my COL is 3.674.
I've shot manybe 20 rounds at that length and a 100 or so at that charge. Should I rethink my loads and start again, reduce by .5, or stick with a COL of 3.5?
