.30-30 brass. Case thickness, rim thickness etc. Batches, lots, brands, type .30-30, .375 Win. .38-55, age. It can cause you problems. My cobbled ammo initial problem was due to me trying to make straight walled 0.423" cartridges. The .400 GNR is tapered, from 0.423 to .418" at the neck, at least mine is. Depending on the bullet you use the case wall thickness at the neck is limited to about 0.0085-0.009". If you have problems check your brass and adjust accordingly. Like Gary mentioned, you can re-run loaded rounds through the FL sizer in a pinch. Ain't it fun though?!

Rule #1: If you have a problem it's probably something you did.

Old R-P .30-30 Win.
