Last update. I hit 3000 fps with 86.5 gr RL17. Velocities for 5 shots: 3003, 2976, 2976, 3009 & 3016 fps. Here is what the primers looked like

no hard bolt lift. However, recoil is getting extreme so I'm calling that tops for now.

This load for the 270 TSX at 2900 fps seemed more tolerable

I think if I could get rid of my flinch this gun would be a shooter grin!
