That's an artifact of my reloading dies that I'm trying to figure out. The die only goes that far down, it's more of a trick of the light than a bulge. Although I can feel a slight ridge on some of the cases.
Edit : These are new cases, twice fired (checked my records). They looked like this before firing the second time. It could be that the chamber is large and the case is expanding more than the dies can resize? (it's a 2400-2450 fps round, 168 grain bullet).
Dies are CH4D. Maybe I should drop Dave an email, he sounds like a very nice fellow.
If I resize with a 308 die it straightens the case nicely but I suspect it might affect the neck end if I'm not careful... dunno...
I'll load up a few new cases and inspect / measure for this problem specifically.
Simply the best, ya my personal opinion lever gun made. Years beyond it's time the 300 savage. I get 2550fps with a 165gr as my average load with a Nosler BT bullet.Just such a nice gun to shoot.
I have a Rem 700 Classic in 300 Savage I had the throat made longer, Stick your bullets out and it will = the .308.
The .466" base diameter is typical for RP brass in any of the -06 based cartridges. Military brass is the only brass I have found that is .470". My 444 Marlin brass measures .464". And so we live with the bulge.
