My start at 38 special did not start well today. First the pile of garbage vibra prime wouldn’t load Tula primers and this is with a replacement tray from costumer service.
Got dies setup and started to load and was shaving bullets; a 158gr sns hi-tek coated RNFP. I increased bell with the included powder funnel for Dillon 650. Also taper crimping in the last stage. That helped some but still some shaving.
I’m using a hornady seating/crimp die but backed the crimp off so it just seats.
I’m going to try again with less crimp, less bell, backing the seating did out just 1/16th of a turn more and see how that works.
Will the DAA stepped powder funnels help in this situation? DAA and a S3 make $38 powder funnels. For pistol I only load coated lead so I’m wondering if this is something that will cause less of a headache.
