[QUOTE="britz, post: 216991, member: 7865"] Don't seat them too shallow! I was messing around one time trying to get them closer to the rifleing -- BIG NO NO. The gun stunk, and it sounded wierd, when I ejected the round I noticed it was a little sooty. Shot another one, same thing. So I just thought about it for a second and looked my rifle over. Here, what was happening was the bullet was getting popped out of the case before propper pressure was built up to seal the case to the walls of the chamber. Gas was escaping through the bolt and through the safety port (which was just covered in black soot). I'm glad I was wearing my safety glasses cuz I did have a little soot on my face too. It wasn't even a hot load at all. But the moral of the story is that you have to seat bullets deeper than .01! kinda stupid little lesson I learned there! oh well, live and learn (hopefully lol). One of those times I had to reach around and grab my head and pull. [/QUOTE]
