    Bad Brass or too hot?

    That’s correct I sold the AI and let the now owner know of my issues I’m going to order a new barrel and see if the problems persist.

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    Not sure I'll have to check that. By factory I mean I purchased factory loaded ammo and the case bubbles I found were all from those. Not resized. not reloaded. by factory I mean factory, by reloads I mean reloads. The only reloads that have done this are 1 fired brass where the original...

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    The brass I’m mentioning is factory nothing I’ve reloaded yet. I’m not crushing it and would fully admit that had I found evidence of that

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    Upon further review I checked all my brass here’s the results: Five boxes of hornady all with some sort of bulge on the side this consisted of three boxes of hornady white tail 150 gr, one box of superformance and one box of match. two boxes of Berger factory with lapua brass no issues five...

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    Ok so I’m pretty sure this chamber is F’d, I just checked it after cleaning with some factory rounds and it’s leaving some pretty good marks So it’s a new barrel for me. also when I full length size it’s just barely a touch, I’ve done it this way in every other rifle I reload with magnum or...

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    I’m using a hornady resizing die and full length resizing, reason being is some of this ammo was shot through different guns as as I have a couple 308s I don’t want to size the brass specifically to a single gun

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    Only 2, the remaining ones were fine. I combined a bunch of factory hornady boxes together for this batch of ammo, I’m almost wondering if I’m going to have a box (20) of them

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    No extra tension than usual, it’s not ever case I’ve only had four of about 30 , I’m going to check my sizing die as I’ve never had this issue before, I also usually use a rcbs die, Redding or other and this is my first hornady die . there is definitely a cut in the chamber now as the factory...

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    Don’t see how that could happen you lock the bolt in place in the barrel then tighten the barrel in place. The barrel has a spacer on the end of it and this is a factory barrel

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    It could definitely be possible that this is happening, I FL size all my brass with a hornady die, I don’t have a head space gauge but it’s leaving a mark even with factory brass now which it never did before 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    Here’s the chart, I’m at 40.5 which is no where near Max load I don’t get it. I’m thinking it’s gotta be bad brass but I’m worried I may have torched this chamber now

    Bad Brass or too hot?

    So I’m super confused I have these 308 loads I did up 175 gr smk, federal large rifle match primer and 40.5 gr of IMR 4166. Not hot by any means. And now I have four cases (of about 30 fired) that have split like shown. No heavy bolt Lift, no mushroomed primers, a little flat but that’s it. So I...

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    I agree with this ^, the caliber change system of the kraken is by far the best, but the convenience of the AI is much better. seeing as I don't change calibers that often, the kraken made much more sense to me.

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    Hi guys I made a review video covering the Kraken, its a great multi cal system that should definitely be in your consideration if you're looking for something like that. I'd like to do more review videos so let me...

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    you're probably not wrong but looking at the design it doesn't seem overly complicated

    Cadex Kraken, an AI alternative?

    They are head spaced at factory so that during the barrel change when you change it out, as long as it's torqued to the same amount, the head space is exactly the same each time. Cadex indexes each action at factory so they can spin up new barrels to fit exactly but I bet you any competent gun...

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Given the complete lack of information on the Kraken on the internet I made a video showing one, let me know if I missed anything!
