Put some cotton filler and a wad in the neck to keep the powder from moving. Loaded them in nice jameson brass. Some of the primers backed out on firing. I can't believe the pressures were too high. Any suggestions? Also any suggestions on a smokeless load. I read some use IRM 3031. What about trail boss? Jerry
