Today at the range I was testing my first 30-06 reloads for my garand. The first 15 rounds went flawlessly with number 16 being trouble. The primer was struck hard with a perfect dimple, but the powder did not burn. The bullet moved into the rifling, though not far (chamber flag won't go in).
Brass: HXP full length resized, trimmed and tumbled (in that order)
Primer: CCI 200 large rifle
Powder: 44.5 grains of H 4895
Bullet: Sierra MatchKing 150 grain
Any ideas of what went wrong? All the powder was still in good stick form (and now stuck to my garand)
