lets talk excess pressure

Seems inconsistent to me. Something has some play to it I would think to have that kind of variation

Trimmed the 7mm cases down last night to 2.490. Loaded up a couple of the 67.5 grain rounds , went to the range to shoot and see if there was still a problem with the sticky bolt. No problem lifting the bolt after the shot. The gun is now however all over the place? I don't understand how it went from sub 3/4" or less groups to 1 1/2"+ , and the shots are all stringing Hi and right.

If it was me I'd work all your brass so it's as consistent as you can get. Then re work the load. Re working the load will help you get to know the rifle and you will know that it's the best load for your rifle, But first check your rail and rings and such for loose screws. Seen that happen to a lot of rifles that just start opening up.

Scope ,rail and rings are all tight that's the first thing checked. Its funny i loaded up a couple rounds with .5 grains less powder and they are alot closer than the original load. 5/8" center to center as opposed to 1" center to center. Both loads are hitting almost in the exact spot on the target .
With the 67.5 grain load the  first shot is bulls-eye. 2nd shot is 3/4" high and 1/2" right of 1st. 3rd is 3/4" high and 1/2" right of 2nd.
With the 76 grain load 1st is bulls-eye. 2nd is 5/8 high and 1/2" high of 1st. And 3rd is 5/8" high and 1/2" high of 2nd. .
I'm going to buy new brass and start all over again at the beginning.
