[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2027345, member: 94154"] Well my wife tells me I'm a horrible communicator, and by you misunderstanding what I wanted to say, must be so. I wasn't stating it as their problem, at all. This is a problem, specific to PRC as @Alex_Wheeler pointed out. I'd speculate it also happens in other cartridges, but depends on who made the rifle. Point being, [LIST] [*]If you push your pressures, it's more likely to happen [LIST] [*]This is a forum where people do that, a lot. [/LIST] [*]If you really want to get the most out of your LR rifle, and push the pressures, accept that [LIST] [*]Without modification (esp on the 300 PRC chamber), you will likely result in cases sticking as the base web expands under the pressures [*]Standard, OTS dies won't remedy that problem. [*]Best solution is to have a capable 'smith modify your chamber, and [*]get a custom set of dies. [/LIST] [/LIST] My attitude is, LR is like a hot rod : you may only get four reloadings out of your brass before they start clicking. Modify the chamber, get better dies, or settle for just a few reloadings and buy more brass - you decide. As stated before, it's not the brass' fault. It can be remedied by modifying the chamber and getting dies that properly size the case, all the way to the shell holder. [/QUOTE]
