Hey guys
Stupid question time
I shoot f-class with an ar-10 in 6.5 creedmoor. I've been reloading for this for a while now and have a pretty decent recipe.
Last months match I had one round out of the 200 I brought that didn't chamber right and upon ejection I noticed the shoulder had a bulge in it. So something funky happened that I didn't catch.
For my 308 AR I obviously don't spend the same amount of time or effort loading as I do for the 6.5. But I do case gauge all the 308 with a Lyman case gauge.
So I ordered a Lyman gauge in 6.5 and figured I'd just add it as a step. Well upon spot checking some of the rounds I loaded up this week. They actually 'fail' the case gauge and remain proud of the gauge a little bit.
With my 308 id junk these, but that stuff I load for reliability and it's not really precision ammo of that makes sense
The 6.5 chambers easily and ejects easily from my rifle it just fails the gauge. I didn't check every round but out of the 100 I loaded, 15 off them all failed the gauge the same way but they all loaded fine.
I am using a Forester FL die set up to bump the shoulder .005". Hornady brass and this is it's 3rd firing. They were annealed, FL sized, trimmed, chamfered, etc.
I'm not to concerned but figured I would ask. I've only had ones failure in close to 700 rounds so far.
