    Worn out brass?

    Both have 3 firings but I’m thinking one lot may have been more spicy than the other and my notes only show the 100 case lot number used not which “sub group “ of cases I used.

    Worn out brass?

    On closer inspection the 100 cases have been in two 50 case “lots” and have been kept separate from new one lot of 50 have 4 cases with sings of chs. While the other has no signs.

    Worn out brass?

    I was hoping these would last till lapua released there 300wm brass. But for peace of mind I’m going to trash them just thought I would have gotten a few more firings out of them. I got Hornady 308 win brass with 8+ firings.

    I have Hornady 300wm brass with 3 firings on them. I found 2 with sings of head case separation. Do you just cull the suspect cases or shit can the whole lot?

    Bergara B-14 HMR problems

    Thanks for taking the time to help. I was going to try some 190 matching and 178 eldm. Do you have any powder or velocity Suggestions? Not looking for charge weights. Just an area they shoot good in I could aim for?

    Bergara B-14 HMR problems

    I have been doing 5 5 shot groups with a .5 grain clim up to max using Hornady and Hodgdon load data. I have had many single digit sd and low es. I would like to try some factory ammo but it’s not available currently but I’m not discouraged yet so I’m willing to try anything within reason.

    Bergara B-14 HMR problems

    Thanks for the reply chad. I have tried 180 game changer+7828ssc,200 gr matchking+4000mr and the 220gr matchking+h1000. That’s what I remember my load data is at home I’m currently at work but the velocity was at the high end.
