  8. Made some progress in the keyhole issue

    Ok, I made some progress. I think that it is the Factory Crimp Die (FCD). I loaded up two rounds - one without using the FCD and one using the FCD. Then I pulled the bullets with an inertia puller...

    The only small pistol primers that aren't sold out are Remington and Tul-Ammo - the most expensive and the cheapest. I'm going to a gun show tomorrow so I'll hold my order until I see what is there.
