Reloading data from the old site

[juanjo322]

I tried this load at Lapua Nosler 120 gr. Ballistic Tip Varget 28.5 gr. CCI #450 2.260" and I had several cases come out good, however I had 3 of them blow out the side by the rim, I wish I would have saved the cases. A member from another forum swears by the accuracy that comes from the Grendel, I purchased a firearm from him and was I disappointed with the results, he fixed it sent me another barrel but still wasn't impressed with the accuracy. He agreed to load some rounds for me and upon attempting to chamber a round in my AR the whole case got stuck! It quickly ruined my day at the range and had a hard time trying to remove it. I have had some moments with this caliber that I was almost at the point on giving up on it.. I bought my gages for reloading and such but I still don't feel confident in reloading this caliber. I can reload the .243 for the AR and the .308 bolt gun just perfect, but the grendel has given me some issues that I have been at the point in getting rid of it.

Trouble shooting:

I have a RCBS digital scale and dispenser, I have tested the weight on the dispensed load on my Dillon digital thingy and it is accurate, I am using CCI 450 magnum primers.


What am I doing wrong?
