[QUOTE="Brent, post: 31398, member: 99"] If you're shooting with only 50gr?? of H1000 to fire form, that's scary ****! I would cease that and use a normal load or you could end up in trouble lickity split. Seconday explosions with that little powder could be lethal!! I think you're TOO HOT. Fire form with a reasonably warm load so the shoulder is blown out all the way "for sure", then measure the base to shoulder length with a Stoney Point headspace gauge or empty cartridge case located on the shoulders datum line. Record this length for reference. Make sure your FL die isn't shortening this length by any more than .002" at the very most. If you compare these cases to the ones you can't lift the bolt on now, I'll bet the headspace is less than zero on those tight ones, and more than likely "minus" .001" or more, indicating locking lug flex from excessive pressure. Did you work this load up, or just start at 100gr? [/QUOTE]
