Thank you, jebel, Lenny, and Huntz! I have degreased the cases and chamber, inspected loaded rounds before and after chambering and even re-measured loaded cases for length (everything looked good and the loaded case length is .010 less than the max. case length of 2.030). Still looking for clues! As for the ole interweb load stuff, you are exactly right, Huntz. I only use published data, start low and work up using my Magnetospeed and visual inspection and still end up about 2 full grains or more under published load max. (I use Hornady and Gunwerks headstamped brass, which I'm told is ADG and they weigh within 2 or 3 grains of each other). Anyway, I didn't jump on the Crudmore wagon specifically because it didn't offer the gitty up and go I wanted, hence the 6.5Prc. I have loaded various bullets and weights by Hornady, Sierra, Berger, Hammers, and now Barnes(127LRX). Still feel like there's something I'm doing wrong. I have learned so much from the people on this forum; I thank you all! Great day to all!
