[QUOTE="Pistol packer, post: 620855, member: 34702"] sounds like you dont do a lot of reloading but mostly store bought stuff. fifty driver is right on, but i would also look at a couple of minor things. make sure your chamber is dry, no oil, hasnt been stored on it's butt, but muzzle down or wipe the chamber first before you fireand with these heavy boomers i dont mean wipe with a dry rag, but with alcohol and dry. you get high chamber pressure with any oil/lube/grease-even off excessively greasy hands and you get dents-pretty much all the signs you showed on your pics. i have had some problems with the older model savages. they just arent finished too well sometimes. the ejector can have a burr, the chamber might need polishing etc., but if you make sure that it is dry and you change to stouter brass and it does ok, then that is the problem. probably. there is also the double base problem i dont know that hornady does it with that load, but their scientific loads that are super hot may have double base powders. dont know where you live and shoot but these powders have extreme pressure curves when it get really cold or hot. i love the adds that hodgen has about temp insensitive powders- really, they have had these forever, no coating and not double base. alaskans have known this for years now they are making a big campaign out of it. of course there could be just poor assembly and the headspace is too much. anyway, let us know what it is and how you figured it out. always listening.:cool: [/QUOTE]
