[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 373570, member: 5060"] Hmmmmmm--- let us review here: THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH when it comes to high pressure loads period. The key here is to accept that fact and move on or experiment with a different brand of brass (I use Lapua for almost everything esp for my wildcat based rounds). When a pocket is a little loose I pitch it but then again all of my brass is bagged and marked to the number of firings. Friend of mines dad for example who is a reloader not a hand loader has a 6.5 284 that I had Speedy build for him a few years ago. This rifle will shoot .4 with the hunting bullets and the 1st load I tried. He said that is good enough for me --- it is not a hot load however, he has gone up a little on the powder and has some brass that has been shot 10 times and some 1 time (claims it makes no difference). He wonders why the rifle does not shoot---thought something was amiss so I use my ammo and everything is good again. Just goes to show you that 1 grain more powder and inconsistent neck hardness does make a difference not to mention primer pockets. If the primer pocket is a little loose and a primer backs out just the smallest amount then some of the energy of the pin is used to force the primer back into the pocket thereby giving variable ignition.
