Please be gentle, as I am very new to Black powder and BPCR shooting.
All my brass is new brass, both nickel, and brass. Step 1 is to full-length size, step 2 inside expander and chamfer, step 3 prime, step 4 powder, wad, and compress, step 5 try and insert bullet and see if it will chamber. Cowboy bullet seater distorts bullet face so I try and insert with hands. Then repeat steps 2 and 5 and then swear and go back into my house. I do NOT have an annealing machine. Any suggestions?
Also, how do I measure and calculate the wad depth for given bullets?
Thanks,
