6.5 creedmoor hornady brass

[ranger3]

I am in the midst of switching to hornady small rifle primer brass the brass neck thickness measures. 014 to .0145. When I fired the rounds I notice that now my empties will not accept a new bullet in they appeared to be ready to be reloaded . Why do you think my fired brass won't accept a bullet without opening the necks up. This is being fired from a stock savage rifle rifle LRPV. My previous loads were fired from hornady factory brass. Neck thickness. 0125. I would think the chamber should be OK with that.

Sounds like your chamber neck is tight with the .004 thickness you just gained with the new brass. Usually you would see preasure signs on brass if that was the case. Whats the inside measurement of the old brass on a fired case inside neck? If its less than .004 over bullet diameter new brass cant release bullet properly

Check for carbon buildup in your throat. My lapua brass is .016 thick and functions fine in my 12 lrp. I assume those are the same reamers. Maybe not.

Are you sure its fired brass and not resized brass? Did you mix a bag up? Ive grabbed a bag I thought was resized but it was only shot and cleaned. Funny night.

No this is new brass and I am wondering about carbon build-up as well so I'm going to have to take my bore scope and see what I can find in there find a narrow

I didn’t know Hornady made small primer 6.5 Creedmoor brass.

Low pressure starting loads. Spring back. Slow powder & light for caliber bullets will do it.

Standard dies may thin the neck walls, by over working the necks.

Accuracy should be better with the fat necks, in factory rifle.

Sorry, it's Lapua brass

Time and time again, we are told Lapua brass has thick necks and need trimmed to work in many chambers.
I bet if you trim the neck, you will cure you issue. And also make sure the length has not grown, after sizing. That might need trimmed also.

Get a loaded round outside neck dimension and compare to fired brass outside dimension.

If your fired brass won't accept a bullet, that can be dangerous. Too tight chamber neck dimension or hard Carbon ring can cause it. A stock rifle should not require neck turning. I've seen that condition once, a long time ago, when I first discovered the Carbon ring issue. Started seeing pressure signs with a standby load and a gunsmith friend suggested I try inserting a bullet into the fired brass. It wouldn't fit. We borescoped, found a Carbon ring and cleaned it out. Pressure signs went away and a bullet would slip into the neck of the fired brass. Just my .03.
