Welcome to Southern AridZona in the Summer…!

Dry Heat.

So is a Pizza Oven.

But a Pizza Oven isn't as hot as a Phoenix summer day

I remember when a local TV station would mark the first day they could cook an egg on the sidewalk at noon, usually in early June.

Am glad we're in southern NM now. We don't go over 100 that often. I still get to the range before sunrise to get in an hour of shooting

I was in Phoenix in the late '60's - I remember that.

Those look like primers that were coming out of my Savage 11, 223. CCI400.

I think I may have gotten it right. I made up 2 rounds with 29 of Varget & jammed them .008. Looked better & brass needed resizing. Then I made them again & brass will go back in chamber with a touch of resistance.

Yes CCI mag

That right there is a headspace problem. Id the casehead is tight againsr the bolt face, primer cant back out. Another of your posts said those cases were jammed .005" when shot in another kbarrel. There's your answer.. Short brass and light load. You don't need to be shooting a lighter load to "break in" a barrel. In fact you don't need to break the barrel in. If it were me, I'd probably anneal the cases, then shoot them full power with bullets jammed.

Sounds good. Thank you. Now I need to find someone who can anneal them for me.

If only doing it a few times a hand drill and propane torch makes it simple.

Glad it is coming together.

Just go with the universal load of 30gr of Varget, CCI 450’s and a 103-108gr bullet at just touch or even 5-7 thousand jam and let those cases get properly fire formed.
In post #30 the picture of those two cases seem to show that the one on the right has black marks on the case head… Are you still getting gas leakage?
Any of those that have leaked should just be discarded.

 

[BW64]

No gas leakage. I marked one that was 3 times fired. My previous load was 29.8 Varget at 5 thou jam. Thanks for the help
