[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2009351, member: 36951"] If you have protruding primers in your TC Contender, you have too much headspace. Almost always. Always in my experiences. Bellm TCs has correct info and fixes. Adjust your dies to allow brass to be headspaced correctly FOR THE GUN. Sooty necks is usually an indication of pressure too low to obturate/swell the cases in the chamber. Suppressor users will recognize soot in a different context: brass has sprung back while lower pressure dwells in barrel, suppressor and chamber which allows gases to flow around said shrunken brass. Qualifications: I have been handloading/reloading/loading for over 30 years. I load 72 different calibers of metallic cartridge from 17 Hornet to 50 BMG. I have an ammo manufacturing business, as well as an FFL and SOT for NFA item sales. I am an engineer. I like to experiment in scientific ways and I don't take uncalculated risks. [/QUOTE]
