[QUOTE="uncle_motorhead, post: 366138, member: 13108"] Kirby is one smart cat with a lot of experience To light a charge is spot on, and that looks like what fixed your problem. You may have noticed, the problem was worse in cold weather, or when pointing the casing down when loading it. A tighter neck and adding a tighter crimp can also help alleviate the symptom, so polishing the expander ball, could have made it worse. However I disagree with the 165 being too light for the Warbird causing the problem. I have run RL25, and 130 gr Barnes bullets through my 30-378 Wby for years. Never a hangfire. I don't underload them. I also load 120 grain Lazerhead bullets in my Firebird, without issue, but 7828 works a little better in there. I have had very good luck with heavier bullets using Retumbo. These lighter "BARNES Bullets" hang together very well and don't hurt the shoulder so bad when they go boom. The 120 from the Firebird and the 130 in the 30-378 both approach 4000 fps. You can also buy Factory Weatherby ammo with the Barnes TTSX 130 grain. [/QUOTE]
