I had my first experience working with ultra light loads yesterday, I've got a FR-8 which I love, but which also beats the **** out of me when I shoot it, so I decided it would be a prime candidate for light loads. I had a handfull of 7.62 NATO brass which I had fired through this gun so, following the info I could find on this forum, I drilled the flash holes out with a #30 bit, neck sized with a Lee Collet sizer and loaded a 112gr 32-20 boolit sized to .309 in front of 3.2 gr of Bullseye.
All rounds fired and were fairly accurate at 50 yards, the problem arose when I attempted to reload those rounds. I again neck sized with the Lee Collet die, but when I got to the bullet seating stage I had three cases where the boolit just dropped into the case. I resized the necks on those three cases, marked them, finished loading them, fired and began reloading them again at which point I found the same issue with two other cases. I'm not sure what's going on here, I don't know if it's an oversized throat on the FR-8 (not unusual from what I understand) or if it's my technique with the Lee Collet sizer. Anyone had neck tension issues like this with Cat Sneeze/Mouse Fart loads?
