    It's just that after the shot when I opened bolt with regular strength, the bolt handle stopped half way. Then I have to use some force to life it to open the chamber window to eject the brass.
    No problem... sounds like a tight chamber or an issue with the case rims. I'd not worry about it. On the MAX weight load, I had to use slightly more force too to open my bolt.

    David, I have been telling you that you can shoot when you focus. Now maybe you will start believing me.

    In the FWIW department, my databook shows:

    175 SMK
    41.7 IMR 4064
    at 2.870 COAL

    as the tightest grouping 175gr load in my remmy 700p using that bullet.

    That is your group #3 plus .070 length but I wouldn't read anything into that .070 except a little less velocity.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    No worries though... they will serve their purpose.
    Sorry, I meant I like the post. click on the wrong button.
