Hey guys, I've searched a little in the hopes of solving my hangfire problem in my savage 110 BA 338 lapua.
My current load is 87 gr RL 25, CCI LRM primers,338 lapua brass, and 300 gr scenars .010" off the lands. I have gone through maybe 200 rounds, and had three hangfires.
From what I'm reading I should switch to a hotter primer like fed215m's but today I measured my case capacity with water and its 116.5 grs. (spec is 104)
I'm starting to wonder if 87 grs of RL25 is too light of a load for this case capacity, and when paired with the CCI primers I'm getting the odd hangfire?
thanks
