I'm casting loading 9 with good success so far but ran into a few issues. Im using a Hornady AP and I'm expanding and flaring with a modified PTX die which seems to work great. I turned it a little deeper and gave it an M step on my lathe. But, I'm still getting a little lead sliver once in a while and no matter how much i crank down the ptx, and it seems well flared, i get this shave.
Random range 380 auto cases! I'm getting better at catching them either before going in or just after sizing but damn, twice now I've ripped the rim off in the sizing die and it's a little bit of a process to get it out :0. Any tips on those?
