[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3146468, member: 33119"] I ended up finding all the parts I need at Midway USA. I went ahead and ordered an extractor, extractor spring, detent ball, ejector plunger, ejector spring, and roll pin. It took some time to get the ejector plunger and spring out of the bolt head. The spring was completely mucked up and the roll pin had a pretty good gouge in it. I shot these same reloads last year; 43.6 grains of H4350 behind Berger 140gr Hybrids. They run with a muzzle velocity of 2,886 fps. I was thinking my powder temp may have been part of the problem. I had my reloads in the pick-up while I was cutting a pear tree down for my dad. After I finished with the tree we had dinner and then my son and I drove to the range on dads place and set up our target. It was then that we took the ammo out of the truck. That was at about 1730, basically they had been in the hot truck all day. I de-milled the rest of the reloads and will start over using new Lapua brass and Hornady 143gr ELDX bullets. The Remington brass is starting to get long in the tooth now. I'll run an OCW starting off with 42.0gr of H4350 and work up from there at 0.3 grain jumps. [/QUOTE]
