22 creedmoor early pressure issues

Might be worth noting, I did try some copper creek loads with the 80s and they were 3400fps but hard pressure also.

I broke down and bought some factory Hornady ammo, a few different types. 80gr ELD-M had pressure signs and ejector Smears on the first shots. Clean dry rifle Gave me 3200 fps. I mic’d
the loaded ELD-M’s at 2.587” +/- .003”. I’ve been loading at 2.620-2.640”. I’ll probably seat a bit deeper and try again.
I also tried the factory 69 eld-VT’s and the 65gr CX SuperPerformance, no problems with either of these and very freakin fast.
