[QUOTE="bman73, post: 538635, member: 31591"] I have been keeping the brass seperated, wanted to see if there was an accuracy difference between old and new. The picture is of poor quality, was taken with my phone in low light, but even the brand new one has a crack in it in the same place as the old ones did. I stopped shooting after only 2 of the new brass as I was worried about destroying all of my brass. Unfortunately I had FL sized even the new ones at the same time as I loaded the old ones. Got in a mood to reload and did 60 at one go. I have ruled out over charging the powder as I zero my scale every time I start a batch. I also weigh every charge before dumping into the case, I am actually so anal about powder charges I use a pair of tweezers to pull individual kernels of powder out of the pan to get every one the same. May not be needed but that is just the way I have always done it. I am wondering if seating depth would have any chance of doing this as well. I f I had seated the bullets too far away from the lands would that jump cause issues? My COAL is 3.285 I honestly don't know what I originally started with as i havn't moved the locking ring on the die for about 8 years. Just found what worked and never touched it again. This gun has only about 1000 rounds through it and I honestly have never pushed it too hard so I don't think it could be a throat errosion problem yet....................could it?
