Duds , misfires ,WTH.
Please read all of it before you judge me as an "drop out donkey".
I have been working up new loads which has been an adventure all in it's own but this 1 is totaly new to me (been at this off and on since 1978).
It is always a suprise to pull the trigger an have nothing happen . It's a bigger shock in the middle of a string and to eject a loaded rnd . I stopped there start checking rnds did I miss a decap/forget to prime ..... no . Did I forget powder . I finished the session went home grabbed theimpact puller pulled the bullet well there it is no powder remove case and bullet. I look in the case and it looks like a compressed load ( I'm not even close to a full case ) and the powder is jamed and hard so I give it a couple of base taps nothing so I go to poke at it just to break up "the jam" and it's really hardclear through the charge .
I pour it in my scale pan and it's about1.5 grains light and in chunks of 3-4 kernnels and has a glassyhard tar look to it .
The bullet didn't move and is seated to the very bottom edge of the cannelar groove with a light crimp.The primer dropped the anvile out of it when I decapped it but that happens like 1 in 4 too .
I'm shooting as follows:
CCI 200 Large rifle primers
Federal brass that weighs in at 225 grains
Hornady 3033 150 SPBT interloks
47.5 grains ofIMR 4895 from a new can.
Just that 1 round that malfuntioned .
This combo is giving me about 2800 fps +- 35 out of a 21 1/2 " 1-9 30-06' Savage 110LH of 1965 vintage .
