[QUOTE="CNY Yote Hunter, post: 2699385, member: 109650"] To start I have been reloading for close to 20 years or just over that. That being said I came across something I haven’t seen before today. Well out with a friend sighting in a new thermal on his rifle I found my load I have been using in my bolt gun does not fully extract on his semi auto. Rifle is a 204, not sure the model or action and I apologize cause I know it’s kind of needed info to possibly answer this. My load is a 32 grain vmax, brass is nosler- new, federal 205 primers and pushing 4000 fps out of my 26” savage barrel. His barrel is only 18” so obviously speed changes quite a bit but when he shot my load he hit the bullseye at 100 and drop out to 500 was the same as the factory loaded superformance. With the factory loads his gun fully cycles but with mine it does not… what am I missing? Do I need a crimp for more pressure? I do not own any semi autos and I don’t load for anyone generally but with ammo being so non existent we wanted to see how mine shot in his just in case type of scenario…. Who has answers lol and happy holidays from NY!!!! [/QUOTE]
