[QUOTE="Sdvldog1371, post: 1813060, member: 110800"] I have 230 some odd pieces of hornady .300 PRC, 190 some odd from the same lot. Out of that large lot the case weights were no way to sort them. I did weight and then volume after the 3rd firing and trimming to length. Cases within a 0.1 grain weight within a group had volume variances of a few or more grains of H2O. I sorted my cases by volume for loading. At the 2nd firing of most cases I started seeing and marking sticky cases. About 35% of my cases were sticky. KEEP IN MIND I was shooting OCW, but I had sticky cases occurring at random, some down around 72 grains H1000 and some at the top which was 80.5... those above shot above 78 grains were chucked in the round file, which is why the odd number of cases. Several people have reported sticky .300PRC brass... I am waiting for better brass before I shoot my rifle anymore... So... essentially i have 230 something pieces of scrap brass with 1-4 firings. Edit: All of the brass is still usable and still has tight primer pockets etc... I'm just not going to keep developing loads with it, or I will cherry pick the best brass that doesn't stick and make disposable hunting ammo from it. [/QUOTE]
