i took care of the headspace problem today, I only sized new cases to the point that they would chamber and the bolt would close, the fired cases looked good. I increased the powder load to 13.2 grains of Unique which formed the cases very nicely but 9 of the 10 shots fired tumbled. these are very long bullets (Picture below) and I may have to go to 15 grains, time to break out the old chronograph.
Just another homesick Texan that shouldn't of left in the first place!
