[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 458392, member: 25383"] take a handfull of cases that you resized, but are not primed. Now check the pockets with a primer pocket tool. If the pockets are oversized the tool will drop right in. Now is a good time to check the depth as well. The primer should be close to .005" under the face of the case head. Now is also a good time to run a small sewing machine needle thru the flash holes to see if there is an obstruction. Lastly (I know this is crazy); how big is the flash hole? I've seen some brass that had an oversized flash hole in the past. Also, by chance are you using a bushing die? as for a good load to start with in your Savage; try this: Sierra #1365 bullet seated .003" off the lands IMR 3031 powder @ 35.5 grains Federal primer this load will print in the twos with three Savage 22-250's, and one would print in the .180". The load is good for about 37.0 grains, but 35.5 to 36.0 grains seems to be the sweet spot. There are no pressure signs, but you will notice the chamber pressure building up. The bullet is critcal with the 1:12 twist rate! glt [/QUOTE]
