I've been having a little trouble chambering reformed .223 brass in my Toks...this has solved the problem. I installed a 7.62 x 39 collet crimper in the press and used a cut off 223 base to raise the 7.62 x 25 neck up to the collet...this got rid of the tiny "bulge" left by the standard crimp on the cast pills I'm using.
That looks like a nice solution. With my Romanian Tok, I had no end of feeding trouble until I got the crimp just right. Too little, and it won't go in the chamber; too much and it bulges. Now that I have the setting on the seating die where I want it, my rounds feed pretty reliably. BTW this is just a plinking gun for no other ostensible purpose. If I had to have absolute reliability, I would probably use factory ammo. I do make my own cases out of .223 brass, and they work well.
