on my 350 legend. Man it is is so picky on everything having to be exactly right. I was trying some new Accurate 11fs powder. Brand new Win cases. Primed with 41 cci primers and the170gr Hornady soft point. The max load for this is 26.8gr. I was only able to get to 25.5gr and that was already giving me a sticky bolt. And the 350 reared its head again. The first shot on the 25.5 load gave me 2241fps. About right for the charge. Then the next 3 were all 2290-2318fps. The first one had a nice round primer and the others were FLAT!.
I have said this cartridge like to give wild swings. And the primers showed this again. It goes from a safe load to the exact same load on the next will lock your gun up.
I have been shooting a lot of slow 1300fps loads and it seems happy other than the feeding sucks on this round. If I do give up I am going to pull the barrel and get something else to replace it. Thinking a 300blk or a 300 ham'r. I have to think about it as I am invested pretty heavy in this with all the molds. I have so much extra 1x fired brass it is not even funny. It is like 556 here laying everywhere. I picked up almost 100 empties today people left laying.
One good thing, I know a guy that is a 35 nut and would probably take most of the stuff off my hands
