Tweeked my load for my 30-06 handi up a bit over the weekend. Shooting a Nosler 165gr Accubond at 2800 fps. Good load, both my old handi and my Ultra Comp shoot that load well. I was using 58.7gr of RL-22. Decided to move on up to 62gr of powder. Moved up in half gr incriments, got no high pressure signs. But at 62gr the Ultra Comp failed to eject, the first shot. I knocked it out with a cleaning rod, then it ejected the next two. Set it aside to cool, then on second time again failed to eject first shot. Second and third shot ejected properly. My old Handi ejected fine with all of them.
Just experimenting, nice to know they will handle the higher load with no pressure signs. But will drop back to the 58.7gr of RL-22 That is what the Tactical scope on the Ultra is calibrated for anyway.
BTW- Did get flattened primers with old Handi at 62.5gr of RL-22.
