[QUOTE="tugger, post: 1710404, member: 79966"] So I load up my brass as usual and head out to the range, and to my amazement all of a sudden I have about 50% misfires, The primers are all dented, however they seem that may be a little lightly dented. This batch of brass has been loaded about 5 times (f.l. resized, bumped back .002). I am wondering if this is normal Indication of case wear due to the high pressures of the 338 edge, this is something that I have never experienced before. My intention is to pull the bullets and start a new batch of brass, before I send it away to the smith. I guess it should be mentioned that this is just cheap Remington brass, loaded up with 84.5 gr of H 1000, pushing a 300 gr. Accubond at 2650 FPS, chambered in model 700. Not really a hot load at all, and I have been thinking about pushing to up to the next node. I am fairly new to this caliber, I must say the more I shoot it, the more I love it, great work Shawn! Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
