[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1616335, member: 26077"] Based on your pictures, even though they aren't real clear it I am pretty sure you are over pressure. If brass takes a while to cool down before you can extract it that is another pretty good sign the load its too hot, as is the fact it doesn't do it with factory ammo. Now you have to determine if it is bullet seated too far out, too much powder, neck not having enough expansion room in the chamber, make sure the bullets you are using measure .308, I have seen packaging errors, too hot a primer or the lower capacity of the Privi case. Great brass but typically heavier and holds less volume than WW or Rem. DO NOT shoot any of the loads that are sticking!. If you are going to keep loading buy even a cheap chronograph. It is the best pressure gauge the average reloader can get. Velocity basically equals pressure. I have reached max velocity many times before I ever got close to max published loads, I have also seen the reverse. [/QUOTE]
