[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 1071939, member: 29174"] I discovered a couple things about this brass: 1.In a 100 count bag they had 3 270WSM brass in with the 7WSM brass and of the 3 270WSM's I managed to stuff a 7mm bullet right in and shoot 2 of them before realizing it. I made perfect 7WSM brass out of them and then resized them right back to 270WSM. This may have caused a problem if the load I was using wasn't a little conservative and the bullets weren't seated out far enough that they hald the case back in the proper position. As it was the primers were FLAT(they actually probably backed out a bit then got flattened by the case coming back(tophatted)). CHECK HEADSTAMPS! 2. Apparently, ATK failed to fulfill a military ammo contract. In the terms of the contract they had to make up the rest of whatever contract they had with commercial ammo. This ammo was delivered to the gov't and then sent to be demil'd. This explains the strange combination of demil'd ammo calibers as whatever was available was sent to fulfill the contract. [/QUOTE]
