I am ready to reload the next batch 308, the brass is fully prepared through the entire cycle, and out of boredom I just did a very last inspection with a high power jewellers lupe before start loading with powder.
And this what I discovered that some (maybe 10 out of 100) casing has marks.
Without a lupe - only with reading glasses, I can see only now the marks from the ejector because I learned what and where to look for it.
I cannot recall for difficulties ejecting from chamber. The spring in the bolt I replaced with new- a bit stronger, last winter.
Win 308 SA
Lapua brass, inherited, about forth or fifth reload so far as much I know, two refills in my hands, both were annealed.
Sierra Match 155 grain
Varget 45.8 grain powder
CDI large rifle primer BR-2
Seating depth 0.028"
All my reloading tools new from Wilson, and I am very picky when doing things.
About consistent <0.3 MOA @ 300 meters in all weather conditions averaged over a 100 shots.
My Q:
Would it be worth to repeat again a leader test with less powder, or just separate these brass into a new batch?
