Murphy’s Law results. (Solutions to follow.)
1. Murphy Law: When using RCBS .30/30 dies to make a dummy round to set OAL for checking fit and function in the Savage 340, the boolit jams on the crimp shoulder and sticks in the die.[smilie=b:
2. Murphy Law: As everyone on this site knows all standard die sets are made to load J word bullets and the neck expander button is too small for real Boolits.
3. Murphy Law: Never start to load something new in previously sized and primed cases. (see 2. and more to link to this)
4. Murphy Law: No bell or flare to help start bullet straight. (see 1., 2. and 3.):oops:
5. Murphy Law: If you figure out how to crimp or remove the flare, you don’t have, you will need to have all the cases the same length HaHa! (see 2.):groner:
That’s enough of this Murphy bull.
I used a Lee decapping die to remove the primers and a Lee case trimmer to trim to the same length. Had to remove the primers to trim, because the shell holder for my Wilson trimmer is for fired cases (see 2.)
I took the neck expander from my Lee 7.62x39 dies and put it in the Lee Universal Decapping die and adjusted the die so that the case entered just enough to expand the neck. (see 2.):confused:
I used a Lee Universal Flaring Die to put a slight bell to aid straight seating. (see 4.)
I used the Lee hand primer to re prime the cases. (see 3.)
I ran the seater stem down almost as far as it would go in the RCBS seating die and this allowed me to seat the boolit and not then pull it when I lowered the case. (see 1.):roll:
I still had a problem that I first thought was going to cancel my test load project. How to remove the flare?
I made a spacer from an old socket by drilling it out large enough to allow it to sit on the shell holder and trimmed the length to strike the collet base of the Lee factory crimp die which came in the 7.62x39 set. (see 5.):redneck: Pic included.
The boolit I am loading is the NOE 311407 Mod. From the group buy.
