As I was seating the 26gr grenades, i wanted to hear if the powder could move inside the case. I picked it up and shook it and I heard a very loud rattle come from the case. Louder than powder should be. I wondered if I missed some stainless steel media pins, so I pulled the bullet off and nothing but powder came out. I dropped the bullet out of the collet and shook it. The core had fractured. I checked my box and 65% of them rattled. I think I'll swap to something in the 40gr ballistic tip range.
The internet returned a few old forum post that mentioned the rattle, but nothing substantial.
Anyone else have this issue with Barnes grenades rattling?
