Burned Powder on Outside of Case

[bigedp51]

Bigedp51, you may be correct that I screwed up the powder measure during that group. Not sure though because I am pretty particular about watching the scale and making sure the load is weighed correct.

97% of all errors are human errors and only 3% are actual mechanical failures.

1. So did you reload all your cases at the same time or did you take a break between loads 2 and 3?
2. Did your wife or girlfriend distract you?
3. Were you sipping on a Canadian beer?
4. Were you loading late at night?
5. Were you watching reruns of Red Green and get duct tape on your scales?

6. Were you yacking on the phone?
7. Did you leave the window open and have a slight wind creeping across your loading bench?
8. Did you turn the over bench fluorescent light on just before you were having problems with those loads?
9. Didja happen to sneeze and git sum goobers on yer scale tray?
10. Didja didja didja???????????

So H4831 doesn't have the right to say his piece? I bet he has more "real world" experience
than 90% of the posters on here, me included. lol.
In all fairness to bigedp51, his posts are usually informative.
As for you, Steve, did you notice the smilies at the end of my statement? You should look again.
Regards, Dave.

Yep I did!

I'll agree that both of the posters inquestion have forgotten more then I'll ever know!!

*All the information in the world is written in books, and all you have to do is read.

During the winter months I will pick up my reloading manuals and re-read them, a lot of information is in the front of the manuals. I'm not kidding, the manuals have a lot of tips on making accurate ammunition and all you have to do is keep cramming this info into your gray matter.

You learn from your mistakes and the older you get the more you learn from your mistakes.

*Wear earplugs and all this information won't leak out.

And don't overload your revolvers.....................you might burn the steaks.

OK. I will give it a try.
First load didn't have enough pleasure to blow soot around the case.
Middle load did.
Final load had enough pressure to expand the brass and seal the chamber.

Just my opinion but the problem is definitely pressure related.
Over and out.

PS. Sorry if I got this thread back on topic.

You didn't use a chrony, and hence there is no way to say anything more than has been said.

If you had noted that the MV dropped with the string of cases that became sooted, then to me it would show that you mixed up the rounds and your lightest load became misplaced and was not the first to be shot. But you didnt use a chrony, so it's guesswork.
