[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 187035, member: 10"] Generally, this is cause by very low pressure. This could be caused by the very light bullet with very little neck tension on it preventing a good powder ignition. Generally, going to a hotter primer will help and generally increased the powder to jump up pressure will help also. As the cases are fired more and more, the case begins to heat temper as well which means it looses its elastic properties which allows it to expand to seal the chamber as easily as with a newer case. This can be corrected by annealing your case necks and shoulders. Simply put, if you have no other pressure signs, I would say working up your load will make this problem go away to some degree. That said, very light bullets in this class of chambering can results in these issues no matter what but you should be able to limit this to some degree. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
