[QUOTE="watersfam, post: 2216946, member: 118754"] The Win cartridges that I used were pretty old- probably late 60's stock. I have looked at a number of the photos posted the on head space issue including Hugnot's. There is a noticeable area of stress that looks like a shiny band near head on all. My cartridges that failed also show a shiny band in same area. Again, I am not sure why, but the Silvertips had zero failure. They are probably 1980's to 1990's stock, so they are newer and the bullets are 117 grain and longer than the older 87 grain cartridges. I just received a couple of boxes of Hornady +P boat tails that I will try this weekend. Will post the results. [/QUOTE]
