[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1541603, member: 60453"] Barnes bullets are notorious for creating higher pressures than regular bullets. What reloading manual did you use? If you are going to use Barnes bullets, I would recommend getting the Barnes manual and using it. You might also go to Hornaday bullets for your .243 AI. It doesn't sound like a reloading mistake to me. One other thing you might check is if your sizing die has been moved down on you, giving greater set-back on the shoulder. I had that happen with one of my .308 dies and that created a head space problem that duplicated what you're experiencing. Things like that happen, and they happen to everyone if they've been reloading long enough. I've been reloading for about 50 years and I've had other things happen, too. But check your shoulder set-back and see if maybe it is a little off. [/QUOTE]
