[QUOTE="jeeper80, post: 1618556, member: 84830"] I used to be a competitive highpower shooter. My favorite load was 42.0 grains of IMR 4064 in a Winchester case with a Sierra 168 Matchking and a Remington 9 1/2 primer. My loading routine was to charge the primed cases with powder then visually check powder level in all the cases as they sat in the loading block to be sure that the powder levels were uniform. If I was satisfied that they were, I proceeded to seat the bullets. I was a calibration tech in a USN calibration lab so I had standard weights that I could check my scales against. Scale checking weights can be purchased and it's a good idea to do periodic checks. OP, thank your lucky stars that you were shooting a strong Remington 700 and not a converted military surplus rifle. The end result could have turned out different. For brass to flow as pictured, it would have to be subject to tremendous pressure well beyond a factory proof load. [/QUOTE]
