bruce282 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Loading 3.4 grs of WST under a Precision 147gr moly bullets. I had a flipped primer so I was going slow and trying to see if anything looked funny. Glanced at the round that just moved to station 3 (550b) and noticed the powder level was higher than it should be, not a double load, it looked to be 1.5 times the right amount of powder. There was a bunch of spider web type crap in the bottom of the case. What would have happened if this had slipped through and been fired. I'm guessing nothing since the powder charge was correct and I would assume the web stuff would just vaporize as the powder burned, but I thought I would check.

Bruce I collect a lot of range brass. While sorting cases, it isn't uncommon to see small spiders scurrying from the cases. Since I tumble clean and polish all of the brass I collect before using it, I've never encountered a problem with debris. Some shooters use silk or dacron to provide filler material for low charge weights in large cases. Since this filler material obviously disintegrates with the powder when discharged, I'm sure your spider webs will too; along with any spiders stupid enough to hang around.

SA Friday Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Or.... as TJ had issues with at summer blast, you will have a case that has mud combined with the crud and you will here pop, pop, boom, pop, pop. Not a ka-boom, but no bueno either. Something solid like mud mixing with a spiderweb can cause less space in the case and spike the pressure. It's a fine line I wouldn't want to mess with. inspect your cases before they enter the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKSNIPER Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 You could get a pressure spike in your chamber which could possibly damage the weapon and more importantly..you. JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerba Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 The bullet, stuck to the web material, will travel 20 feet and then drop as the web material cannot stretch any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) The bullet will travel exactly 62 FPS slower secondary to the parachute effect of the web as it trails behind the bullet. Seriously, if it just web and bug, probably no big deal. If it's a ROCK under the web and bug, ouch... Good idea, there, to tumble range brass prior to loading.
