[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2550146, member: 115285"] In my case, the load was 338 LM with new Lapua brass, full length sized and Berger 300 grain OTM's with RL33 powder. I was taking long range precision rifle classes over a three month period and loaded 400 rounds ahead to start. Two months into this I needed to adjust seating depth and found this condition. I never experienced it to my knowledge with any loads before this. This was also my fist time loading a quantity of new brass. Something you said above got my attention though. I am now using Vihtavouri N570 powder, and the rifle smells strongly like ammonia after shooting these loads. To the point of smelling corosive, I will not put it away till it stops producing that odor. It must be an additive in the N570. I do lube my case necks and bullets with powdered graphite now in hopes of eliminating the problem. I have not experienced the problem since, and am very conscious about neck tension and lowering extreme spread of my loads. I do need to get an anealer next though. This is an interesting and I believe very important subject to cover. [/QUOTE]
