It certainly sounds like excessive set back of the shoulder.
When I measure a fired case and size it with a set back, I test the case in the gun again. I do a minimum and expect some cases not to let the bolt close right (note, old Sako's have a very tight bolt so you need to do it on an empty chamber to know how much resistance to closing there is)
I have done thousands of cases and since I did the minimum set back, I wear out the primer pockets before a case head crack. 8 firings with being careful on set back should get you at least 20 firings. |
I think you are right on. As I noted in one of my recent posts, I was wrong.
