    Re: I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308 Thanks very much . I'll def look into it . I'm not against any twist rate faster then my 1 in 12 . I'd prob be more apt to load the 175-190 gr bullets . Not so much over that

    Re: I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308 Also, no signs of overpressure in fired cases . No primers backing out or bowing that ican see . I guess it could be a concentricity issue

    Re: I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308 No other wear marks on the marker marks save for a couple points on the rim of the base of the case , but i expected that form the extractor . diameter at that point is .470" same as a case that doesn't bind

    Re: I've got a bit of a noodle scratcher here .... 308 Thanks Equitum. What is really confusing is that it's not all the bergers . Hopefully this won't be something that continues .
