[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1389219, member: 4191"] Yes these were my first two efforts. My only two field-fire outings with this bullet and powder in my 30/375 S.I. - 12/17/2017 and 1/15/2018. I'd never loaded and fired Reloder 26 in any cartridge prior to 12/17/2017. I'd never loaded and shot this Badlands Precision bullet prior to 12/17/2017. Only one shot fired on each date in the 30/375 S.I. The 12/17/2017 load exceeded a maximum case pressure for the Hornady casing. I'm not certain the pressure on 1/15/2018 was excessive. It's possible the pressure was acceptable, but that this different Hornady case head was defective/soft. A lower strain yield. I looked down into the Hornady casing with the blown primer with a flash light. Didn't see any obvious dimensional flaws inside the casing. Wasn't disfigured internally. I'd already weighed all 50 of the Hornady cases that came in the box before I ever loaded any of them, and there were no extreme outliers based on casing weights. Nothing to indicate a very light case with less brass. [/QUOTE]
