I need to invest in a nice mold it looks like. Anyone have suggestions with a narrow nose?

Bird. Your right. I had minimal success it seems. So in my frustration I began taking apart these cases. All dropped into the chamber completely no issues there, so I began taking measurements and...

I’m wondering if I’m bulging the nose during lube process. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181207/347ae59b5d93b8297e1e806db4b4ec3c.jpg

Yeah so I’m back at it. Reloaded 5 after trimming all to 2.029 and ran through lube a matic and guess what? Same **** markings on bullet and can’t close action all the way. Starting to think the lube...

Moonie I’m always ears for correctly doing something. I’ll post a color coordinated picture of the boolit and can you tell me if I’m correct. Green driving band. Red crimp grove. Blue lube...

I think I may have found my problem. The other night I took apart the seating due to follow someone’s DIY bullet profile mod with a dap of hot glue so that my seating stem would not leave a ring...

do you think its the crimping stage that may be moving the boolit in the neck? I thought something was wrong about that crimp because I set the die to touch case mouth then an additional 1/4 turn...

That is a picture of the same round just rolled. Also I made some dummies without crimp or just the slightest crimp to remove flair and same problem

Thank you all. Great information and advise. I will post some pictures to give all an idea of the issue. I do believe it is a bullet seating issue cause all brass after sizing chambered correctly....

One thing to add is I did notice my bullets are not seating straight. Is that a die issue or case?

Ok thanks. I only bought these cause I had an issue with my .308 and needed to bump the shoulder back. Figured well I’ll buy pistol gauge while I’m at it. Seems like I wasted my money

So I invested in a Lyman Ammo checker for my large rifle and pistol calibers. I found that my handloads out of 10 2 will not drop into the Ammo checker. Now I’m not sure what that is exactly telling...

Ok thanks lightman. The range scrap fortunately will always be available as they do a weekly scrub of the range. Also hooked up with him that if I cast him ingots of say 100lbs and keep 200lbs for my...

Thanks Grmps for the charts, great information I really appreciate it, ive had some good success with my hand loads other then the cosmetic aspect of the projectile. can you post some pictures of...

first time post to this forum, my question is ive been casting for approx. 2 years and haven't invested much time in research of the proper process rather just local gun shop talk with others and...
