    I may have left out the part where I chambered a round that wasn't quite set properly... and the projectile got stuck in the lands. Rescued it with a cleaning rod, but it was at that point when shits going so wrong, you wanna smash something so bad... I had to walk away and dream of unicorns and rainbows before my head popped.

    Once loaded some 223, without primers, then later did some more with primers but without powder. The next batch were perfect.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    The best part of this was the trouble shooting session and actually learning from mistakes.

    Anyone else experienced such amazing skill or am I the only one who can produce such masterpieces?

    Are you trimming the inside of the cases?

    I had that happen with new brass a couple of times on bits I forgot to trim. Never had it happen other than that.
