I like it. This is part of the fun of reloading.
Do you have a Chronograph? That may offer some data to help rule out any issues with the load.

This is a wild guess but since you haven’t found the root cause it may be worth throwing it out there…
Could the reduced powder and larger case capacity be creating more pressure during a string of shots? Not letting the gun cool between shots may cause the cartridge to heat which can increase...
No worries! You legitimately answered my question. My apologies if that came across as sarcastic.
Just seems odd to package the trays that way. Guess I’ll just have to be careful not to touch the anvil side as someone else said.

Is this how primers normally come packaged? Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I’m just getting started with reloading. Seems…haphazard.

Stupid question - why slower? Do they ignite faster which ultimately burns the powder faster? As I understand it, the slower the burn, the more pressure is built which turns into more MV.
Thanks for the powder recs. Now only if I could find them!

Well, dang. Found it on the shelf during all the shortages so maybe that’s why? I have it now so I’ll load with it to at least learn the ropes.

Forgive me if this has been asked before. I did a search and didn’t see what I was looking for.
I found some CCI BR-2’s on Natchez. These primers will be for my first ever attempt at reloading. Am I going to have issues with ignition if I use these primers when developing a load for my 7mm Rem...
This is a very personal choice so ultimately you’ll have to choose the best rifle-cartridge combo for you! I was in your exact position 1 year ago and decided on a Christensen Arms Mesa in 7mm Rem Mag. Couldn’t be happier with my choice on rifle and cartridge. Rifle shoots beautifully, 7mm Rem...
