[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 242020, member: 10755"] boomtube is right on the money, that is caused by too little pressure, not delayed ignition or hang fire. The reason it has happened is because you changed components without working up the load again, the same would happen if you went from a Barnes to an Interlok also. The all copper bullets develop higher pressures with less powder than most conventional jacketed bullets, therefore you need to add more powder to get the same pressure value. Whenever you change components you need to start again with about a 5% reduction from the max load and work back up to the previous load, same for changing powder lots. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! you could have ended up with a destroyed rifle, it is known as S.E.E. (Secondary Explosion Effect). MagnumManiac. gun) [/QUOTE]
