I loaded up a bunch of 6.5x55 rounds a month or so ago, using Reloder19. I went to the range today with my Swedish Mauser and 22 rounds. 3 of the 22 rounds were bad. By this I mean, twice the primer ignited but the powder didn't (bullet jammed in barrel). The 3rd time, the primer popped, and after a 1 second delay, the powder ignited.
I'm not a reloading newbie, but by no means an expert. I'm guessing that the powder in those three cases was contaminated. That bunch of brass was cleaned by hand - now I have a tumbler.
The other 19 rounds were fine.
Contaminated powder?
I'm going to pull the other rounds that I loaded and clean the brass in the tumbler.
