Cool.

I can't "show" it to you but it is in an old Speer Reloading manual from the late 80's. Yep, "manuals are dangerous"...

Thanks, been a Loooong time since I was in the machine shop... 🙄

See if you can find a counter bore cutter/bit with a center guide.

I'd try the counterbore, it's a fairly simple way of dealing with the problem that you have.

Based on the discussion here and further research I'll be pulling the rounds. Oddly enough, 4.6 grains of Bullseye was considered a starting load based on the older manuals. Nowadays not so much...

Yeah, a double charge would have been 9.2 grains,(4.6g x 2) and that would have been "noticed"...

After all the above I took it home, cleaned and lubed the gun and went to test fire it. Factory round fired ok. Tried one round of the reload and that's when the second blown case occurred. After that I pulled a load and confirmed that it was in specs charge weight and OAL.

Here's a couple photos of the other case. This was the first one.

I considered that but two times..?

The fired primer looks ok.

Interesting, so maybe not the ammo after all..?

I was shooting some reloads and had two case failures. (See photo) It's old/new Winchester cases, 4.6g of Bullseye with 124g FMJ bullets. I loaded them on a Dillon press but checked the charge weight as I was loading. I also pulled a round yesterday after and the charge was right. Any ideas...

I'm not "Old", I'm "Vintage"... :) ;)

This one... Kephart Tribute from Flat Rock Forge.

My wife is the same way. What some folks see as "Limb Chickens", she sees as "Tree Rats"...

The ticks are bad this year and the chiggers are awake too. :uhoh: If you do go out, spray down well with the stuff that keeps them away.

Trust me, Chuck knows how to shoot....

After much anticipation, (cue Carly Simon song...), my Kephart Tribute knife was delivered today. It's a quality tool and a fitting tribute to HSO. My thanks to Flat Rock for making such a fine knife. Edit to add: Photo credit goes to my wife. The "flat rock" that the knife is on is a piece of...

Ditto today... Oh, correction, my buddy came by to show me his bow in progress before the mowing and I shot my latest self bow.
