[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1233820"] I've only had my 308/26-Nosler aka, 30/26-Nosler, 30/28-Nosler for a couple years. LOL Likely, longer than anyone else. A few hundred rounds of testing. However I have a very accurate QL model of my load data. I see from your photo that you have a mixed lot of brass. In any reloading and load development scenario this is not recommended. For the exact reason your picture demonstrates. Odd results. I would wager, if you measured the H2O in the cases formed from 7mm RUM vs the case formed from 28-Nosler there would be several grains less capacity in the 28-Nosler. Or That could be a bunch of hoowie. No, seriously. Mixed brass in a load development setup is dangerous. I used a "Pressure Trace II" system during my load work. I know for my rifles exactly where danger occurs. You have reached that point. Measuring the H2O is easy. Put the case on the scale. Turn it on. Fill it with water. Do one of the 7mm RUMs and the 30/28-Nosler. That will tell you if your firing pin spring is too strong or if you are flirting with a visit to the hospital. PM me if you want to talk about it on the phone. [/QUOTE]
