[QUOTE="wasskeet, post: 2524619, member: 117080"] I had a good morning loading up some 6.5 PRC. Used some once-fired GW brass I got from a nice gent here. Made me a dummy round from one piece to find lands, no problem there. Loaded up some varying loads of N565 and 156 Bergers. Loaded all at about .030" off. Went to the range and shot a couple foulers with a previous load of Lapua 139/8133. Then shot the group of 3 in the photo. Noticed they chambered a little tight, but didn't seem excessively hard. I don't know if it was luck of the draw or what as those three were the only ones I could get to chamber at all. All sized at same time, same die, etc. I guess I should have checked headspace before loading any. I'll find out later - just disgusted not to shoot this gun with handloads anymore after that start. After that, I did shoot a few factory rounds, no issue loading/ejecting - no groups like that though. [/QUOTE]
