I used it in my ruger .223, ran it up to max charge with no signs of pressure. Not real impressed with accuracy, but I only tried one or two different bullets. One thing I did notice is that even at max charge they were noticeably quieter and had less kick than a max charge of h4895 WITH THE...

I was down to the x bolt the super shadow and the extreme weather when I was looking to buy. I ended up picking the x bolt, but I have had a few feeding issues with it, seems to be working fine now though. If I could do it again I would have gone with the extreme weather first, but would be...

Good point, this is something I suspected as well, but have not been able to confirm. If I get any more shavings in the chamber then I will be taking a look at this more closely.

An update on my progress with this problem. I think it was the extractor causing the problem, I took a good look at it and it appeared to have a very rough edge with a high spot at the end. A 5 minute file job combined with a really good cleaning to get all of the brass filings out of the...

What charge weight are you using? Close to max pressure? I was at the range yesterday, starting at 57g and working up to 59.5. It seemed to shoot better with the hotter loads, I am going to try max load of 60g next and hopefully that will shoot even better. Overall my groups weren't that great...

yes, very nice!

Yeah, I'm not really too worries about it, but it is a bit odd though, why they would leave out the 140's. 61 grains would most likely be the max load if 60 is the max for the 150's and 62 is for the 130's. Loaded up a dozen this morning, starting at 57 and working up to 59.5 with 150 g hornady...

I picked up a pound of reloader 17 today. I will mainly be using 150 grain hornady sst and sp bullets, but noticed there is no load data on their site for 140 grain bullets. I also have 140 grain BT's and accubonds, why no data for the 140's?

I ordered anew set of RCBS dies today, thought I should try them before I do anything else.

Yes it is a new rifle, I was hping to avoid sending it back, but I think it may be necessary.

So I decided to try filing the case heads that were buggered up the most. Made some progress, I was then able to chamber each case about 10 times before it bound up again. I am still left wondering if it is the shoulder not being pushed far enough back on certain cases, that is causing the...

Yes the case heads are buggered up pretty good too where the extractor has been biting! Sounds like this is most likely the problem.

I don't have a chronograph so I can't check velocity. I also suspected the ejector may be the problem as well, and yes I am getting some brass shavings on the bolt face, but not nearly as many as in the chamber neck area. I went back to my dealer last year right after this first happened and of...

browning x bolt

Well I can tell you that the very first box of ammo put through this rifle was federal blue box and was very hot, ejector marks on the cases and stiff bolt lift after firing. The primer pockets were all very loose when I went to reload them. Do you think this caused a headspace problem? The load...

They all measure under 2.100 the ones that are causing the problems measure 2.095. The federal cases measures 2.085 I believe.

Tried to measure this, but I wasn't sure if I was measuring to the same spot on the shoulder each time, so I couldn't be certain of the results.

I wasn't sizing each time, but they may be over sized. Should probably get new brass and start over? Not sure why I can chamber a few times and then I can't?

I'm not sure how it went in three times and then not the fourth, it has since happened again a few more times. I have some federal brass on hand that is once and twice fired, I stopped using it due to loose primer pockets. It all chambered no problem, I measured the length and the federal brass...
