    I pulled a dozen loads today...primers had gone funky...still havent worked that one out...its like verdegrease around primer and one was visably damp...Im picking the salt petre is sucking atmospheric moisture...and I will/must clean cases much better before reloading them to remove any residue....half the rounds the powder poured out without much effort ,the other half needed poking out and breaking up to remove from case..it all burnt easily..very easily in fact....as a side note 150grains of black powder thrown into fire will fill house with smoke and test alarms .....50 grms will fizzle away no problem....150,yeah not good idea LOL.
