[QUOTE="sxssixteen, post: 2548036, member: 121547"] I found it odd that the nickle brass loaded with the CCI BR4 primers were the only ones that stuck in the chamber. None of the others, regardless of the brass, primer, powder, or charge had the problem. One responder suggested that since the nickle brass was harder than brass (brass), it may not retract enough for easy extraction after firing. Why would that happen even with the lightest test loads? The target ammunition was loaded with 52/53 grain bullets propelled by N133, Benchrest, and 8208 powders of increasing amounts (still below maximum). The nickle brass were all full length resized, exactly like all of the other brass I was testing. The problem is resolved in that I won't load the nickle brass with CCI BR4 primers. I will continue to use the nickle brass but load them with Fed 205M primers, or switch to brass (brass). I will use the CCI BR4 primers for other load testing. I was just curious if this was a common occurrence. [/QUOTE]
