Hope to Chronograph these tomorrow and see where they are at. The HP looks similar to a Nosler but has the XTP cuts. Any thoughts?

This is the new JAG brass:

 I have enough to send Shadow and Raggedyman a couple to do pull-down and gel.

Neat. Looks like a combination between an XTP and Nosler. I original thought XTP when I saw the cuts you mentioned.

How did you find this stuff?

From pacapcop. Rain forecast the next two days so doing them in the next couple of hours.

Hey Intercooler, you could send some of those JAG brass after you test them so I can run some reloading test on them to see how the quality holds up.  I need to see if the are soft or hard with respect to resizing and reloading as compared to the Star Line vs. say other makes... 8)

Back and all my digits are still there  :P

I will post some pictures of a piece of brass that looks weird. Did you have any light strikes or stuff like in my pictures below?

As for the Chronograph info:

Match 4.75" 1156, 1167, 1159, 1145, 1158. Average = 1157 FPS/ 535 LBS
Razorback 5" 1192, 1169. Average = 1180.5 FPS/ 557 LBS
1006 5" 1153 FPS/ 531 LBS

I got in touch with Selway and the rating they relayed was 1100 FPS. I asked if BVAC was doing the loading (my hunch) but no response yet.

Like stated it is a light shooting load with no brass signs of pressure. Next post will have the weird primer pictures.

This is out of the 1006. Seems I had a few light strikes too.

What is it?

Looks like a very soft primer cup, shear on the breach face/firing pin hole.  You might want to pull the firing pin and clean the channel if that material got inside...

Looks like the nickel just let go.  Check your pin, it may now be nickel plated.  If you are seeing what looks like light strikes, unique to a brand of ammo, it could be the primers are soft, and it's pushing the dimple back out.  It could explain both, light appearing strikes and the lost nickel.

Should I put up any additional pics of the brass?

BEEMER!

Ahh!  Fried egg primers.  Could be headspace problems.  What is the length of the fired case?  Is it short?

Intercooler

I didn't measure any of them. I plan on picking them out of the other brass and sending to Shadow. He is better at figuring out stuff due to his reloading background.

It appears that those are soft brass alloy, just looking at the dent from the ejector...
