[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3146314, member: 15054"] I worked up loads in my 30-06 Mossberg 100ATR with H4350 and 155 sierra Palma bullets. I was above 3200 fps when I started getting sticky bolt lift. I tried just .3 gr more load and stuck it really good had to force the bolt open and I busted the extractor and spring and ball went in the grass somewhere. I E mailed Mossberg and told them what I did and that it was my fault and I love the rifle it shoots excellent and they guy on the phone asked for the serial number and my name and address I gave him the information and 2 days later I had 2 springs 2 check balls and 2 extractors in my mail box for FREE. I slowed that load down to 3176 fps where even on 100+ degree days it never showed any signs of over pressure. Too bad that bullet sucked on deer. Just pencil right through. That is fine because it kicked way too hard for any enjoyment. I would Email Savage and see what they do. [/QUOTE]
