I just had a guy bring me a Sako 30-06 with a blown extractor, I have replaced a few so no big deal , when I pulled the bolt , I knew what happened, ask if he had ammo with him , "Sure". Reached in the pouch of his gun case and pulled a box marked 165 accubond / 61 gr Imr 4350, I pulled two of the bullets , weighed the powder, 63 gr. Of powder , not hot loads , Dangerous loads . He claimed to have loaded 200 of said rounds , in mixed brass, lord must love him . He refused to pull the bullets , I refused to fix . I couldn't agree more with above comments , start with starting load suggestions, work up! If the factory loads shoot great , use the same seating depth. Most Monos like to jump.
