Both. The only way the primers aren’t 450s are if they were mis-packaged at CCI.Is the factory ammo large rifle primer and the reloads small?
Sure you are using 450s and not 400s?

My first reloads were with N555 with no problems. I switched to H4350 with a higher charge than theses problem rounds but had no issues, they were just running faster than I was trying for. I reduced the powder to the charge weights in my original post and the problems began. That’s the only variable that changed. It’s counterintuitive but as I posted earlier I’m inclined to increase the charge some (obviously well below max but in the neighborhood of where I started with H4350).How many different powders has he tried or the same-same? no change of powder?
Doesn't take me long to figger out somethings fucked up.and change something
but I never load over 5 rnds and shoot them and if they don't do good, I change.
5 rds. of each powder I load with and find the one that does the best or what loads well on the bench? or what you have a lot of.
It's not how fast you go, It's how you get there.
Just me....but personally fuck bronze brushes in my bores.I’ll order one today. Wouldn’t these issues also show with the factory ammo if carbon were the culprit though?
Both? Care to expand on what you mean by that?Both.
Sorry, that was clear as mud. The factory ammo was both small and large rifle primered. And the reloads are small primer.Both? Care to expand on what you mean by that?
I believe it could be the powder. Yes try another lot of the 4350 and shoot those to see if there's any difference. If there isn't then get another powder, if it does change and behaves like it should then contact Hodgdon.I have more powder in unopened canisters of different lots that I’ll use. I’ve only loaded with the two powders and always empty the hopper and trickler after loading. Obviously I’d like to isolate the cause, but honestly feel like I’ve checked everything I can. I’m not sure what other variables other than the particular lot of powder or the brass I used can be changed. As I said initially, it’s quite disconcerting, but I’m not sure there’s anything left to verify.
