Swaged bullet setback

Glad you got it figured out Andy!

I don't have that problem as I can feel if I have the correct neck tension when I seat my swags on my single stage press. If your making your bullets correctly - IE check them after swaging to ensure correct diameter is achieved. I learned this very quickly in the first 50 made. Not enough pressure while point forming meaning the bullet not formed correctly -diameter to small- just a couple thousands of but enough to matter.

I am making my bullets correctly, they all measure in at .400". I checked a vast majority of them. My problem was my Hornady sizing die, it was out of spec.

A lot of people don't even know about undersizing but it has saved many problems for me since I started making boolits and swaging. I've fired thousands of rounds through EGW dies so for me it works. Added bonus which may only be perceived is the brass lasts a couple firings longer. End of story.
