Not strange at all. Case-head separation.

That scale is a 5-0-5 scale, which means at the ends of its design it is +/- 5% accuracy, and accurate at its intended zero range. (5-0-5 is also a brand name by RCBS, but this is a design description of the accuracy of gauges, scales, and the like.) Your scale is within specification for the...

IMR 4350 is THE midrange, non-belted magnum powder for rifles. My go to for .270, .243, .308, and 30-06. I'll take every bit off your hands if you do not want it!

Two reasons, well... Three. USAmericans did not wish to have a rifle designated in millimeters at that time. The .270 is a necked down .30-06, and coincidentally, when resized, rarely needs trimming to length. That was on purpose. It was something new and different, and we all know gun...

My "Go to" powder has been AA7, and occasionally Blue Dot, in my 10mm for the last 25 years.

The bullets arrived! Very nice! May i ask what mold number that is?

Blarby- I would very much be interested in trying the .401 bullets you cast! May I please?

I loaded four hundred rounds of my settled-upon accuracy hunting load in 1990. 7mm RemMag, Barnes Original X bullet, etc.... I shoot a max of three per year. I have a lifetime supply for that rifle. They kill deer and antelope every year.

My Snubby 44, a Model 629 Mag-Na-Port. Factory Mag-Na-Port) Rather thrilling to shoot! BLU - Message me your address, I have a bunch of .44 Special brass, and I can spare a few.

Lots of .223 brass is crimped, and all military... Just ream it all to remove the crimp.

Thank you thank you thank you, witchhunter! Got the box today!

All I am saying is that I have sufficient powder on hand to continue my reloading/shooting unabated for a while.
