[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 699464, member: 9281"] It was more of an issue with brass prep. I was using NC brass at the time and it's very good, consistent brass but I found that it is too soft for my liking. I was loading things with a warm charge and it loosened up the primer pocket after about 3 firings. Remington brass would have stayed tight with the same charge. So I used a drive in style primer pocket resizer that created a bunch of run out. Hammer and punch on brass, not a good idea. I do not have the tool to check run out so it took me a little while to figure out what was going on. I recently switched back to Rem brass. I will keep shooting 'till she gives up. Then it will be a big .338 of some sort:D [/QUOTE]
