Re: Reloading question
Ummmm.....I may have spotted something. OP listed H4895 powder. H being Hodgdon's 4895. The posted photo of the Hornady manual lists IMR 4895.
Question...are the slight black streaks in the photos the blow-by you mentioned?Last edited by Bang; April 10th, 2019 at 12:12 PM.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Reloading question
Hard to see in the pic, the primer on the left is just barely popped, real slight hole in the middle of it, I didn't notice any streaks, might be chatter from the cutter I was using, kinda rough
I wasn't going by that manual. I have the 2019 "annual" manual, Hodgdons website & another manual that all list the same charge BUT as I've said before, I believe it's a bullet mix up since the sources I have don't have my bullet listed. I'm going to pick up another manual next payday and go from thereLast edited by mikeybonez28; April 10th, 2019 at 02:04 PM.

Re: Reloading question
Maybe I missed it, but have you fired factory ammo in that rifle ? If so did the primers look normal ?

Re: Reloading question
Also if your piercing primers that hot jet of gas will erode your firing pin pretty quick, not to mention bits of prime getting into the BCG.

Re: Reloading question
OP it looks like I'm not too far away. If you are willing to make the drive, I have a "Pro Chrono Pal" that needs a good home. It's lightly used & yours for the price of gas it will cost you for the trip. I could meet you at the Walmart in Tunkhannock.

Re: Reloading question
The two powders are different enough that loads cannot be the same in a given application. Google difference between H4895 and IMR4895? to find plenty of discussion and explanations. Do not treat them as equals!!! Please!

Re: Reloading question
Factory rounds look normal as can be, I'm starting to believe it's because of the 5.56 casings
Only 2 or 3 rounds had pierced primers. I'll do a full teardown on the BCG tomorrow hopefully
I would MORE than gladly accept. I'll send you a PM to arrange a meeting
