[QUOTE="fireworks, post: 862123, member: 70656"] I had a problem on a recent deer hunt. I had two cartridges seperate from the bullet when opening the bolt, thus spilling powder and leaving the bullet in the barrel. These loads are set .020 off the rifling and are even lightly crimped. I checked all my shells with my caliper and they are correct. The temperature during the hunt was quite cold, around 20 degrees. Metals contract when cold. Could this be caused by temperature? I never had this problem with this load when warmer. Berger VLD by the way.... [/QUOTE]
