Hi
I'm hoping to pick the collective brain of the forum members!
I recently started reloading for a Mannlicher Schoenauer 1910 - 9.5 x 57 MS
I slowly started with a load of 41 gr of IMR 3031 that gave me about 1750fps and I increased the load by 1 gr of powder up to 44 gr which gave a velocity of 1945 fps
I use standard rifle primers and a 270gr RNSN .375" Woodleigh bullet
Bear in mind the gun in question is the rifle version with 24 " barrel and not the carbine
Every cartridge that came out of the gun had protruding primers with rounded edges and a ring on the neck and just below the shoulder of the cartridge
No signs of excessive pressure were noted ie Heavy recoil or a stiff bolt
So the question is - Is this a headspace problem or is this insufficient velocity not reseating the primer
The primers stand about 0.0022" proud
