I am completely correct that the gas check, and base of a non checked bullet needs to stay inside the case neck of a bottle neck cartridge?
I got my cases to good tension, cant move the bullet without adjusting the bullet seater die and running it through. So I feel good. Ironically I only had to do a bare minimum of mouth belling with that lee die I feel better about the whole process.
Switch from 38special and 357 magnum is an interesting journey in that stage of case preparation.
When I did the first bullet seating, it went fine and dandy. Readjusted the seeater and tried again to get more seating depth. It worked however I have tiny lead shaving around the case mouth.

that's my bullet and I think it can work, its just that with my dummy rounds I made with the bullet seated factory crimp groove to case mouth, I have to much seated inside the case. So am thinking that I need to use the top lube groove or just slap the case mouth in the band directly under the top lube groove.
would be so much easier on a 30-30
