Update:

Well the good news is my rifle got a clean bill of health from the gunsmith today.

The bad news is I'm a moron. I pulled some bullets and weighed the charges. Some how I got distracted during my last loading session and over charged the cases by 8 grains. Thank goodness for a strong Ruger action.

Good lesson learned with no damage and no one hurt. Unfortunately I'm still a moron for doing that.

Thanks to all of you for your help and advice. This is such a great site!
