Secondary explosion event. Low fill density allowing the flame to burn powder at front and back of the case and the flame fronts collide.
Maybe it's just me but that sounds like a great combination for catastrophic failure. But that's just me

What are you guys think this is 8 Seconds on my burst fire 2. It is all TTA 11 with the cross in the circle. This shows the annealing coming down about an eighth of an inch further than on all my other brass.

Mil generally has less case capacity than commercial. Somewhere I have a list I made after measuring several brands. I believe it’s around 1+grain of water less than commercial but that doesn’t equate to the same powder measurements. If your loading at max you need to watch it.
I think this is it. In the words of Johnny's reloading bench of YouTube We don't wanna blow our face off

I've heard that military vs commercial brass has different case capacity, wall thickness etc. That would only come into play for me if I was making hot loads and then I'd sort by headstamp and work up a load.
This is what I have heard And it's not that I'm really looking for high velocity of course, I do like high velocity
I'm looking more for consistent accuracy Thx

I really don't understand your question.
I was always told, to load military brass 1 gr. lower, than you do commercial brass because of the wall thickness and inner dimensions. You have never heard this before?
-
Looking at these head stamps how would you guys load this as military or commercial? Thx US

I have one. It’s decent, I like it. only use it for 6BR though. The flame tends to fluctuate, usually gets smaller, so have to turn up the gas a few times when running a bunch of cases through. I run it at 16 with the inner flame tip just touching the neck. trial and error thing.
That is the setting I use for 6.5 brass 24 for 223. I was watching them on YouTube and they're running their brass at like 35 and I'm thinking, there is no way getting that brass hot enough
-
Is anybody using 1 of these? how's it working out for you? what setting do you use for 223 and 6.5 Grendel? Thx US
-
Got new today, Ran 400, 6.5 Grendel and 200, 6.5 creedmoore though it. It ran OK, I like it.
-
Looks like the way to go is to anneal them 1st then size . Thx

I anneal after sizing and trimming. I want all the work harding completed before I anneal. That way all the bullets release the same when fired.
This was kind of my thinking too, but, I don't know. Thx
-
OK, I just bought a burstfire 2 brass annealing machine. Because I want to start annealing my brass. It says I should anneal first, but, All my brass is already Sized deprimed and trimmed. How should I proceed. Thx USMC

Still hanging on to Strelok Pro for as long as I can.
So was I but the phone I had it on died and I couldn't get it to transfer. The phone quit charging and I couldn't get it even to charge with the cordless charger

I was wondering what ballistic calculator app you are using for your long range shooting For a long time I used strelok pro. But since we are at war with Russia I can no longer get this What are you using?

It is ok if you are in urgent need. Much better prices from online sellers. Usually $180-$225 for 1000 rounds.
Cool, who has them for 180.

Right now academy sports has 250 rounds of 115 gr. 9 mm On sale For 59.99. Is this a good price

1 of the absolutely awesome things about the smith and Wesson M&P2.0 metal Is the way that the red dot mounts to the slide. it's almost like a custom Made Slide.

So background here, I had this issue a few weeks ago loading 45ACP on my 550, and now last night on my 750.
I am having primer feed issues only with Winchester primers. Both LPP and now SRP. Loading the primers the old school way with the primer pickup tubes, occasionally a primer will get stuck in the pickup tube while loading. It's definitely a primer itself gets stuck somewhere in the tube and I have to push it to get it to go through the tube into the primer tube in the Dillon. The same primers also cause issues periodically on the press when they refuse to drop through the plastic tip into the primer loading cup. It creates a big mess when the powder drops into a case without a primer when this happens.
This is only happening with Winchester primers (LPP on my 550, and now SRP on my 750). Same issue both times. Never any issues in the same pickup tubes with CCI or Federal primers. The issue starts when they get hung up in the pickup tubes initially.Is this a specific issue with Winchester primers? I generally avoid them but have a couple K due to the shortages the last few years.
Also - How do you clean a Dillon primer pickup tube? A .22 jag or patch end is too big for the tube. I can use it on the machine primer tube though. I don't see anything in the primer pickup tube but want to run something through there to clean it in case there's something I can't see.
It is not your machines, Winchester suck. But they are better then no primers.

I got a, go to gear 3 1⁄2 lbs connector With a 5 lb spring.( 12.58 for pair shipped) It breaks clean consistently at 3 1⁄2 lbs and has a good reset. I don't believe I would want it any lighter. So what am I missing here? Thx USMC
