[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2778218, member: 95344"] So I'm going to assume that there was powder in there and it was fine. The OP said it wasn't clumped together so I'm also going to assume that it was dry. Since HH seem to shoot better with a Lee Factory crimp I'm starting to wonder if it needs a lot more neck tension for good ignition. Due to the parabolic bands there seems to be less bearing surface on the bullet. The OP used .003" neck tension, maybe bump it up to .004" or a little more. Just my thoughts on this, I'd be careful if you go the increased neck tension route. The tried and trued method is the Lee Factory Crimp. [/QUOTE]
