I have a general question about a load I have been using. The data checks out but it seems weird. I have some 147gr surplus 308 bullets that I am loading behind CFE223. The only question I have is that after I fire the round, the brass comes out clean, a little soot on the neck but it is getting a good seal. The question / problem is that when I fire .223, 45ACP etc the brass comes out hotter than hellfire, in the 308 load below the brass is not very hot at all, room temperature at best. Is this normal or powder related?
