Hey all, hoping you can help me out with a problem I've been having.
On average about 1 out of every 50-70 rounds I am loading is a squib.
The squib is always powerful enough to send the round down range whether shot from a pistol or rifle.
Here's some data"
Press: Hornady LNL with auto powder drop
.38 special
125g RNFP's
2.5 & 2.8 grains of Clays (have tried both with same results)
Winchester primers
Mixed brass
I have cleaned my equipment a few times and the fact that the failed loads are so few and far between I don't necessarily think my powder drop is throwing inconsistantly.
Just typing this I am starting to wonder if it's the charge holes in my brass, or some of my brass in general... I know I have some milsurp stuff in there...
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
