[QUOTE="fishwater, post: 862296, member: 38378"] Thank you for the replies. That was my first thought, that I messed up the bullet seating, and they might have been crimped a bit. It was scary, because EVERY SINGLE BULLET was coming out cracked. The cases were all trimmed to length before being loaded, and were all within spec. Also, the cartridge is already over COAL spec. I could seat them out a bit further but they are right in the middle, in between the recommended, and absolute max length right now. That bullet is just really long! Remember, once I took these remaining bullets apart, the brass was incredibly hard/brittle. I am in the process of getting new brass, and will be paying very close attention to the loading process, especially the lubing and neck/shoulder resizing part. I really appreciate all the help.
