I had a .264 WM that I treated with bore cote, and I had obvious pressure signs with less than max "book" loads. Took it to a gunsmith who ran gauges down the bore and he found what he called a constriction a few inches ahead of the throat. I'm not saying that's happening with your rifle, just something to consider.


I'm starting to question whether that is my issue. However, I gave the rifle a good cleaning with a tight fitting jag and didn't feel and tight spots (not very scientific I know). I'm going to load up some minimum loads with Fed 210 primers and shoot them today to see if any issues. Appreciate all the information from everyone.
