I had tested 35 rem loads from 21 to 26 grains of 4198 and found the highest charge to be most accurate. Everything thing was fine and I even had a perfect lube star on the crown. I decided to try going up to 28 grains in half grain increments. Everything thing was fine until halfway through 27.5 grains of test rounds. Accuracy fell apart and a bullet keyholed. I stopped my test and found leading in the top half of the barrel in the last couple inches. My reading says this is a lube failure. Did the lube just suddenly not cut it as velocity went up? I am just wondering if that is the difference since the powder, brass, bullets etc were identical to the earlier batch that did not lead.
I only gave these boolits one coating of bll. Worth giving them a.second coat and trying again?
