Any ideas on the problem we are having would be great
thompson encore in 300 win mag
Had a problem with the cases spliting off about a 1/2 in from the bottom
scratch our heads check stuff talked with thompson they looked at the barel said it had excesive head space and replaced it
we had scope problems got that worked out and started shooting again
and the case split off again check some more rounds and several had cracks in them. some shot cases shown slight signs of primers flatting out.
loading 71 gr 4831sc 190 gr bergers .005 from the lands.
the case splitting does this sound more like excesive head space or pressure problems.
second if the measurements on the loaded shell where off say .007 putting the bullet into the lands chould this cause pressure problems?
thanks
