    Anyone use Silica Gel Packets-Desiccant Packs to keep moisture out of powder?

    Powder needs some amount of moisture in order to get the correct burn rate. I use humidity control packs to maintain the humidity. I use the 49% packets https://bovedainc.com/

    ES of 97?

    Virgin brass could be the problem in a couple different ways. The dimensions on new brass typically do not match your chamber and resizing die. The other thing is new, clean, brass neck and bullet can form a welding action to where the bullet is stuck to the brass .
