[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1360251, member: 12995"] The powder push could be the issue, or it could be a combination of issues, like overly-compressed load (push), weak neck tension (if you use a bushing die, might go down another .001" in size), or you could need to replace your brass, or if it's fairly new brass, have it annealed to help decrease the work-hardening and help restore elasticity. One way to combat the powder push would be to swap powders to something faster, where your load is not as compressed. For example, if you're using a slow powder like H4350 or RL17, you might want to drop down to Varget or CFE-223. The faster burning powders create more energy, which produces more pressure with lighter charge weights. For my .308 Win, I use Varget. Works great from 168's to 210/215's. [/QUOTE]
