Thread: Trial and error

Was due to incorrect press set up. All cases trimmed inside.

Yet to find out bro, was 2 of 5 in lowest powder charge group test, next three of five mint, with no pressure, went up in halves to another 1.5 grains over this with zero issues. All groups were shit except the last which was under half moa.......has be a bit stumped...cant have had two cases out of a box fail in a row...could I? Brand new lapua brass....I do wonder about my neck die though. Just a bottom end redding.

Edit - cause is way to much pressure

Wait until you forget to lube your case and get it stuck in the die, go to pull it out and the brass lip breaks. Real fun times....not.

Pressure signs much? My guess too hot a load working out a recipe

My best whoops was loading 50 .243's for a competition shoot I loaned the rifle to a mate 5 rounds were powder less we found out he had a bad flinch after the first one, now check all cases with a torch.

Couldn't hold myself and share my experience result!

As for Slimysquirrel's effort - I've achieved similar, but definitely did not want any photographic evidence of it

I've achieved that level of awesomeness on multiple occasions in my reloading career

Pretty sure I've got more of this awesomeness left in me too
