I use my old 250-3000 for deer during early doe season,and I'm really pleased with my 100 grain loads of 40 grains H4350 and Speer Hotcor seated at 2.50 oal.My cases never get stuck,and my primers look good,but I have to sharply snatch the lever open which is no big deal to me,.I don't feel that it's dangerious,but I wonder if it's normal,and do any of you deal with it,or do you down load till the lever opens with almost no resistance.
