[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 887486, member: 39764"] I'm with Riley, you have a wet hole.:D The soot/swirl marks on the case are real indicative of a wet chamber. Far as hard bolt closing, you say you FL resized the brass but did you check the shoulder datum against a previously fired round? I typically bump the shoulders back 0.001-0.002. Keep in mind that all bottleneck cases loacate/headspace on the shoulder datum, even your round shouldered Weatherby caliber. Contrary to popular opinions, you can bump shoulders with an ordinary FL non bushing die, I do it all the time. [/QUOTE]
