Alright I need to figure out if I just screwed up, or is there an actual problem.
Fired off one of my new reloads for 357 mag. I was using 12.5 grains of Accurate #9, 158 grain LSWC bullte, and a Wolf small pistol primer.
The round got stuck just after entering the barrel and it appeared to have a lot of unburned and like a tan residue on the end of the bullet.
I'm thinking the tan residue was powder than changed color, because it looked like powder but just a different color.
I was very careful on these rounds, I only made 24 to test out the lead bullets and work up my loads. So I'm pretty sure that there was plenty of powder in the case.
I did notice that the primer was a little high on the case, but the primer did fire and had a good strike on it.
Could it be these wolf primers weren't igniting the powder completely?
Let me know what you think.
