Okay I am just as confused as everyone here as to how the bullet came out.
Here is the full breakdown. Using Full Length RCBS .308 dies (new) IMR 4895. Using virgin brass. My expander plug is right at .306, bullets are at .308. Using a lee pro turret press. Also using a CCI #34 primers.
When I loaded the first round I pulled the trigger failure to fire. When I went to eject the round there was alot of resistance on the action. Almost to the point I had to set the rifle on its butt stock to cycle it. Once I ejected the round brass came out and powder spilled out. Bullet was just sitting in the chamber.
Tried another reload of a different size chambered it 4 times just to make sure. Fired it (yes most likely a bad thing to do) Fired fine. Next time around loaded up a magazine first one chambered and fired fine. One after that failure to fire upon ejection same problem. Figured the gods of firearms had blessed me more than they should have that day I called the rest off until I can figure out this problem. Have my mentor coming over tomorrow to check out my operation. He is just as stumped as I am.
Had been firing factory loads to get sighted in earlier.
