[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2861492, member: 92702"] I skimmed through all your replies and my best guess is the problem lies on the business end of the cartridge, somewhere between the base of the shoulder and the bullet tip. Since you tried two barrels with the same result, my first assumption is they were both chambered with the same reamer. Neck might be a little tight. You should be able to drop a bullet into a fired case and it fall in. If not, turn the necks, and also check your neck length. Reamer might be cutting neck length a little short. If bullet is not touching the lands, and there is sufficient clearance with the necks, the barrel might be a little tight in bore size. Have you chrono'd his loads? Remember, velocity is a function of pressure, and extra velocity amounts to extra pressure. The answer might simply be backing off the load. You might also try a powder with a different burning rate, but I'd wager the issue is somewhere in the above. [/QUOTE]
