Well i worked up some loads for a 400 gr. Solid copper bullet in 500 s&w. 17 grains of unique powder gave me the velocity i was after. No signs of high pressure going from 14.0 to eventually 17.4 grains.
I decided to load some rounds at 16.7, 16.8, 16.9 and 17.0 grains to see which were the most accurate. Extraction of the 16.7 grain loads were a little harder than usual but the 16.8 grain loads were even harder. I had to pound the extractor rod with palm of my hand to get them out. I didn't load any more after that.
My question is why would the cases get stuck this time, but not the last time i shot identical loads?
