[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1927260, member: 52437"] Just got a 28nosler with 26in barrel. I put a magnetospeed on it and chrono’d some factory Hornady eld which I’m getting what factory states. Now here’s where I’m confused. I went to Nosler a load data since I’m using all their components 160 accubonds with Nosler brass. This is once fired brass mined you that I have resized and trimmed etc. I typically take the min and max loads and start in the middle (have done this dozens of times). Well today I go to shoot and straight away I notice some of the brass is chambering slightly hard but not crazy. I immediately thought maybe I was getting some jam so I rechecked my distance to lands and validated my loads are .020 shorter. So I decide I’ll shoot. The first Shot felt stout to the shoulder and the velocity was the same velocity as the book max charge but remember I’m only half way at 79 grains. Now here is the odd thing, that slightly hard to chamber brass is no longer hard to chamber after being fired. No signs of pressure. No hard bolt lift no ejector marks. This is the round that was initially slightly hard to chamber and now the brass is no longer hard to chamber. I move to the next shot which is .2 grains higher and boom hard bolt lift and ejector mark. Still well below book max but velocity is now above book max. What’s going on? Could the bullet somehow be jamming? I’ve double and triple checked seating depth. [/QUOTE]
