[QUOTE="skipglo, post: 1670566, member: 87776"] I bought a new .338 lapua in a Weatherby Tac Mark a couple of months back and in hurry to try it out I bought Federal 250 gr. Just to get some quick brass to really play with it until I could better brass which wasn't available. I found that after the first firing approximately 50% maybe a little more virtually had to be POUNDED into the shellholder. I took the gun quickly to a Top Notch Smith to check head space on my new gun. Was told it was 100% as I expected nothing less from Weatherby... especially costing 6000.00 +. So...please let me know if you happen to have the same experience. Un- fired shells slide in like they should. Soft brass? I don't know but this is the first time I've experienced this with any other caliber....ever! And I have a bunch of them. [/QUOTE]
