Not calling anyone out or saying you lie. As a matter of fact IF you have ANY explanation please post.
MY "LAST STRAW" INCIDENT WITH REMINGTON BRASS:
Took some 44 loads to the range for testing. All loaded on the same dies/press(rcbs press, redding dies) minimal belling(as in almost none) finished with a moderate crimp with a redding profile crimp die, at the same sitting with the die settings NEVER moved, cases trimmed to identical lengths, primers(federal large magnum pistol) from same box, slugs from same box(lazer cast 240 HCSWC), powder from the same container trickled to the 1/10 of a grain(2400). The only difference? The brass brand. Results?
Winchester brass: 5 shots under 2 inches at 25 yards generally.
Federal brass: Roughly the same as winchester.
Remington brass: About one in four keyholed about 6 inches out side the group.
THESE RESULTS WERE REPEATED IN 4 DIFERENT 44 MAGNUMS PRESENT THAT DAY.(9.5" SRH, 2 different 7.5" redhawks, and one 5.5" blackhawk)
That was the day ALL my R-P pistol cases went in the junk.
Any ideas folks?
