Quote: BTW - I tend to not want to incrase the velocity any more with the 286 (my prefered choice) due to pressure limits -- i can get the bbls to mjeet with 250 gr noslers at 2560 or so .
IMO, the reason for this is the rifle was regulated with a lighter bullet than the 286 gr bullet. I would either use the lighter bullet, or have the rifle re-regulated, for the 286 Gr load!
