i was loading my 7-08 today, with 44.0 grs of RL-15 with CCI250..i went to the house to load some more. i have the new blue box primers from CCI, all i seen on the box was mag. well, when i went to shoot them i pierced a primer.thought i had bad primers. went back to the house to check. well it was CCI350.. but the 2 that i shot[both pierced] grouped with the other group. the info on the new boxes are small. i will pay double attition next time..

How many did you load? It seems I only do stuff like that when I make a run of 300 or something.

Good for you on figuring it out and stopping when you did. Simplest way I have found to deal with a mess like this is to just prime up a bunch of brass the pull the bullets and pour the powder straight into the new brass with a powder funnel, then reseat the bullet.

The other day I loaded up a small batch of 6 cartridges to try a new bullet powder combo. My buddy was picking me up to go to the range in about 1/2 hours so I was a bit hurried. I picked up the first casing to seat the bullet and felt something fall off the bottom of it...a couple grains of powder..oh ya....gotta put primers in those darn cases.

Actually there are a few reasons to try such shenanigans, one such being the .22 Hornet. I also have used the CCi 350s in 7.62 x 39 loads with relatively small (22 grains) charges of powder where I felt it might give better shot to shot consistancy. It did.
