The two pieces of brass in the picture are from a 300 Win Mag load I shot today: 165gr Nosler Accubond, 78.5gr IMR 7828, Winchester LRM primer, LOA 3.39. This should be a mid-range load according to my Nosler book. Although, the book claimed this would go about 3110 FPS, and my Chrony clocked it at an average of 3207fps for the four rounds I shot before I stopped. Clearly I have a case separation issue (I overworked the brass and had separations on four different loads), but what happened to the body of the case just below the shoulder?? What would cause it to form dents like that?
