[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 538669, member: 30671"] Your load doesn't look too hot, reviewed my Nosler book, and it's not a minimum load, but your velocity is where it shoud be. 1000 rounds doesn't seem like much-I played with the long magnum Ackley version in .358, and got that many. A borescope would help define this a bit better. I don't think being worn would cause this kind of problem. The old brass giving up, doesn't trouble me, but brand new brass, in a cartridge that has a belt for headspace even if you pushed it back sizing it, should just fireform. I wouldn't expect it to last doing that, but once? I'd pull everything at this point, but is there any possibility of a powder mix up? If you've got something to measure with, compare loaded and fired dimensions against what saami states. A trip to the gunsmith to check things over, seems in order. Just thinking with my mouth open, but it was fine last batch 3 weeks ago, and has suddenly had a major change. I'd check everything, but I'd triple check powder. [/QUOTE]
