[QUOTE="JAWZ, post: 218117, member: 11619"] I was at the range today testing out the new 180gr E-tip bullet and a box of 180gr Hornady interlock when I ran into an interesting problem. I was using brand new brass and the rifle is my 300wby mag in MKV accumark. The first loads of E-tips there was no problems at all no preasure signs easy bolt lift the whole shebang. But when i fired the exact same powder charge with the interlocks i was getting powder burns down the side of the case all the way to the head and still no preasure signs. Then on the 4th shot in the group i extracted the case and found that it had caved in on 1 side of the shoulder. :( I just dont undrstand how this could happen.

Any help or sugestion to what may have caused it would be awsome. Andrew [/QUOTE]
