True, but in this case it is 2400 we are talking about. Try a pound, I think you are gonna love it.

It doesn't like the cold much. I stopped using it when I had a couple long guns gum up.

I would check the primer pockets with go/no go gauges. If it is just a handful of cases I would scrap them and not worry about it.

Yep I agree.

As mentioned above, I full length size all my 308 as I have different rifles and am not gonna keep separate loads for each rifle. I agree with getting rid of the expander ball and sizing the neck in a second step. Get an expander mandrel you'll love it.

I second the AA#9 thing. Glad I tried it. I will be testing more of the AA powders in the future.

I have a Sig P220 carry legion edition that I absolutely love. Goes everywhere with me. I should have bought a second one before they stopped making them.

Clean primer pockets is the big reason I wet tumble. I just have less problems when I clean my brass that way. I'm convinced it is one of the reasons why I don't seem to have problems with the "metric" or troublesome brands.

I had a similar problem with genex SPP in 10mm auto with AA #9. Had stuck projectiles with a wad of yellowish half burnt powder behind the projectile. Only happens below 50 degrees F as far as I can tell. I didn't break down all the rounds because I forgot to take pictures last time and I'm...

The Dillon 1050 or similar is really the only answer. That being said I still have yet to acquire one. I use the Dillon super swage and it works pretty fast once you get in the swing of things. Next best option to the above as far as I can tell.

It does seem like he could use shorter brass and solve the case fill problem. Since he was lamenting the demise of Trail Boss and how bulky it was. I know in my Henry lever when I want subsonic for the can, I run 38 special. If I want more power, I load up 357.

I don't bother as I wet tumble and the pockets come out looking like new brass.

Yeah all my lee powder measures have been sent off to greener pastures. There are just better products out there, and I got tired of always tinkering with the Lee stuff.

Yeah that is one of the nice things about 2400. I've never found the need for a magnum primer. It downloads well too. Downside these days is if you are chasing max velocity, there are better performers. I've never really been one to chase max velocity though so it works well for me.

I would run more sources than just the one manual. That being said, I don't think you could go wrong with H110. Though I use 2400 myself, both have a good reputation in the straight wall magnums.
