I had same thing happening on my 280 Rem when I first started reloading. I was FL sizing every case, even fire formed cases. RCBS die set as per instructions. This causes over working brass & excessive headspace especially on an already loose chamber. What I done since is check every case with...

Will do

Only had a 280 Rem. That wouldn’t fit. Had loaded some 22-250 with Hornady brass

I agree with John 264. I'll update if/when I get rifle back from Savage. Thanks again for all replies

Haven't sent rifle in yet. Contacted Savage they gave address to send to U.S but I'm in Canada. I can imagine hassle of sending this to U.S. I now have an address for Canada but would like to call first to see what they say. I'm still thinking metal fatigue / cracks lug area. Just looking at...

I don't shoot/reload pistols so I have no pistol powder. I'm suspecting my powder throw is inconsistent as you can see from my previous text after I pulled bullets from left over reloads. Inconsistent measures. I'm thinking after reloading /shooting 3 years of these inconsistant reloads , some...

FYI I did send my scope Red Hot Varminter 4-16x44 back to Scorpion Optics last Monday Sept 16, 2019 just how it looks in posted pictures (page 1). Last Friday Sept 20, 2019 I received brand new scope. Scope was an amazing scope before I destroyed it. I now know why, because Scorpion is an...

It's always possible I missed one. I pulled all remaining reloads from this batch (approx. 20) Powder looked like powder in 1lb bottle (not powdered or anything) Case length were all between 1.88" & 1.91" ( in spec.) All cases had 34.6gn of Varget except 5had 35gn, 3 had 36gn & 1 had 37gn I...

Looking back at my records. I was originally reloading 35gn Varget & 50Gn Hornady V-Max bullet. In Feb 2016 I bought a Scorpion Red Hot scope calibrated for 55Gn bullet. So I started reloading with 35gn Varget with a 55Gn Hornady V-Max bullet. This is over max load per Hornady Load Book (34.6gn...

I pulled all remaining reloads from this batch (approx. 20) Powder looked like powder in 1lb bottle (not powdered or anything) Case length were all between 1.88" & 1.91" ( in spec.) All cases had 34.6gn of Varget except 5had 35gn, 3 had 36gn & 1 had 37gn I went back to Hornady Load Book and...

But wouldn't the bullet have still be lodge in barrel?

No 243 or 08's, closest caliber I have is 270

I think I assumed my powder throw was accurate & didn't weight every throw I think I'll make sure I do smaller reload batches Keep me from getting too complacent hence sloppy while reloading Just want to thank you all for trying to help. Great to be part of this community.

Ok here's what i found out this afternoon, I'm an idiot but a live one I pulled all remaining reloads from this batch (approx. 20) Powder looked like powder in 1lb bottle (not powdered or anything) Case length were all between 1.88" & 1.91" ( in spec.) All cases had 34.6gn of Varget except...

LOL Priesthood won't work, they don't drink enough beer I think I'll keep shooting
