[QUOTE="RyanG, post: 715800, member: 28392"] I have some questions about how to resize brass from 308 to 260 Remington... but I guess it would be any caliber to another.... I have had some problems with Federal brass that I resized. So what I did so you can tell me what I did wrong.... I used Federa 308 brass from gold metal match ammo. I ran it through my Redding full length resizing die, then I trimmed them to length and then loaded them up with 125 accubond using 45.5 grains of RL19 with a Win primer. I set them at 2.780 (which was just touching the lands). I took my son out to shoot his new rifle for his birthday and on the second round I had a primer blow out the back and break both the extractor and the ejector on his BRAND new Savage Model 11 260..... a week before elk season starts here for him. I have ordered new parts and they will be here in just the nick of time.... I pulled all the other bullets because I am scared of shooting them... So my first question is what did I do wrong???? Do I have to ream the necks? At a total loss why I blew the primers out... The load I used was a middle of the road load and no where near max... Thanks Ryan [/QUOTE]
