[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 508455, member: 22495"] I have recently been hand loading for my 7mmRM. I always get powder burns/residue on the necks, but never on the shoulder like yours. I have been using H1000 exclusively. My load is 70.5g of powder pushing 168g SMKs. I use Winchester brass and Fed 215s. I am just learning specifics of reloading, but form what I have learned, it sounds like the gas is escaping around the neck (which I think is normal). The problem is the gas shouldn't make it down to the shoulder because the shoulder should expand and seal off those gases inside the chamber at the time of detonation. That may not be a whole lot of help only to say that my 7mag doesn't get the gas all the way down the shoulder. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
