    load development input please

    Re: load development input please the differance was in the brass. Do you anneal it. Remember brass grows, or stretches. Might have caused thinner case walls, maybe enough to generate more heat to burn the powder quicker creating higher velocities. Maybe I'm wrong but that is the only thing...
