[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 508862, member: 25383"] I kinda gather that maybe the cases were new and unfired; correct? A quick way to check your case headspace when compaired with once fired case that have not be resized, is to get your hands on a roller bearing inner race that has either a .312" to 8mm I.D. These are very square and can be bought at mosy any bearing outlet store for about $5 (they are actually better than the ones that come in the kits). But on the otherhand you would have to bump the shoulder back about .025" to see a significant spike in pressure, and even then they might even ignite the primer. I suspect the real problem is in the seating depth and running a near max load. Take five or ten rounds and seat the bullets about .015" deeper, and see if it helps. gary [/QUOTE]
