New Batch of Hornady 450 BM Brass
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2020 4:08 am
Got another 50 cases in the other day and prepped the brass like I always do before loading, ie, sizing, trimming and checking/cutting primer cup depth with my primer pocket uniforming tool from Redding. During primer seating I noticed a few cases were very hard to seat the primer to the bottom of the pocket and still stuck up a bit even after putting all the pressure I could on my hand seater. I've never run into this before with Hornady brass. Loaded up test round with a Hornady 350 grain JSP over Reloader 7 powder. 4 rounds failed to fire on the first hit but ignited the second time. I''ve recut the pockets again and will see if this cured the tight primer issue. Anyone else run into this with Hornady brass?
