Are you saying ALL of your brass is from the exact same lot number ? No range pick ups or mixed headstamps whatsoever ?
Now to the CCI Primers. I have already been through over 1k CCI 400 SRP between my 2 Savages and never experienced a problem with them until now.
As stated I have fired about 1600 CCI400 previous to this time with no issues. So again, why now?
What about the other eleven people that gave their time to chime in ? Lol
I’ll sleep much better knowing that, thank you.Trust me, your input had also been highly appreciate.
I’ll sleep much better knowing that, thank you.
Well I certainly hope this isn't causing anyone to lose sleep!
Todays meeting didn't go as hoped so won't make it to the bench tonight.
OK, now have 30 rounds from 21.5 to 23.0gr.. 5ea in .3gr increments.. should be able to shoot them Thursday.
I’ll restate this salient fact: CCI 400’s cup is too thin for what you’re using them for.
Could be any number of reasons why you got away with it until now. Probably some combination of variables that caused enough pressure to start blanking them.
The starting point for solving the issue is to stop using CCI 400s in high pressure cartridge applications
So you didn’t replicate the issue but you found the solution? What causes you to find the primer as the culprit?
Color me confused. I am another that hasn’t ever had an issue with 400s in 223. I won’t dismiss the warnings about it and the REM 61/2, I guess I just need to qualify that with a “yet”?
I suppose I’d want to know which variables stacked to cause it.
Was the rifle cleaned at all before today’s session?
Is today significantly colder than other days?
Because you didn’t say if they were cratered or not from your last trip? Sorry, I probably missed something…What is hard to understand about that?
