Still haven't figured out what is wrong other than the powder. I bought it a long time ago. Never opened it until this load. Always stored indoors in cool conditions.

Still not convinced it's the powder for sure, but the other loads with other powders don't do this to the hulls.

Loads were all pressure tested for safety before I got the info.





8lb jug of Win 296



Man O man though, it shot a great pattern with that load though.


I just got some H110, so I'm going to load it the same as the burn rate is close to the same (slightly faster), and see what happens. 117 to 120.

If no primer is out on the H110, I'm positive the Win 296 powder is the culprit.
