Wow,
I would be bummed. Sounds like they do not understand. Really shouldn't be that big of a deal. If you have other dies maybe you could try a 30 caliber stem?
I apologize for my earlier comment. Though I stated that I have no problems it is because I do not load with this powder to the top velocity ceiling. It does fluctuate but my loads are well under max.
JD,
Put that bow down and love on that 280. You will make the world a better place. I have a 280 Remington, a 280 JDJ and a 7mm Weatherby on order for my Encore. I love my 280 Remington. The 280 JDJ is awesome but the 280 Rem is hard to beat. Never ever let go of that 280 AI like I did. You...
I experienced the same thing with my 7-08 dies. RCBS had a new stem on my door step the next day, literally. One thin for sure they take very seriously is Customer Service.
I use RL22 almost exclusively. I find it to be quite stable from my ambient temperature expectations. I hunt from 100+ to 20 degrees and have experienced no troubles.
