Re: Barnes Black Tipped TAC-TX available at MIdway
Yes the TAC-TX is a premium hunting/defense bullet that some even say the 300BLK was optimized with/for. Regardless of history it is a very accurate and lethal round out to 200 yards or so, however it is very pricey and for a reserved use only. And given the fact it has been near impossible to find ...

Re: 110gr ZMAX Failure to Fire only first round
Fully cleaned and resized using all lee dies with two or three passes with the resizing die. lee resizing dies are NOT forming dies . get a hornady, or RCBS, or forster, etc brand die and try forming them again. i bet you'll have much better luck in the future.

Re: 110gr ZMAX Failure to Fire only first round

Re: 110gr ZMAX Failure to Fire only first round
Wow guys thanks for the quick replies and ideas. I do have an electronic scale and calipers that I can get some measurements. Also got me thinking bout a 'kerplunk' test with markers?

Re: 110gr ZMAX Failure to Fire only first round
Ohh and I'm using all Lee dies with small base. The misfired ammo I couldn't extract, tried with finger nail & tried collapsing stock and bumping down a couple times on table wouldn't come out. But the ones that fired, extracted fine and piled up nicely behind me.

Re: 110gr ZMAX Failure to Fire only first round
Yes it is American Eagle LC brass, once fired, that I cut myself with help of friend who done it before using his mini chop blade. I'm not sure about crimped primer, but was able to deprime the same as all my other brass. The primer pocket looked normal when I scraped it clean, didn't notice any ind...
