I know I'm doing something wrong in seating my bullets. But for the life of me i cant figure out what.
First some # on my 30/30. The bore measures .3085. The fired cases in the neck measure .330. I am working with the Lee 30cal 150gr measuring .309 after Lubing.
I am trying to seat the bullets without a crimp.
I have the seating die adjusted to the depth i need. But every time i am seating on the last part of the press arm movement instead of leaving the neck flat it will ever so slightly bulge the case neck just in back of the end of the case neck. I can feel the bulge being made in the handle.
I can seat the bullet an just feel before the neck is bulged. But if i stop at that point i still have some of the flair in the case mouth (about .02/.03 above chamber neck dia.). If i put the case back in an put the teeniest but of pressure on the presses arm the neck will bulge
I am not inserting the case into the die to the point where it would normally put a crimp on the case.
PLEASE HELP!!! ANYONE!!!
