star sizer 7mm

[686]

are any of you useing a star sizer to size 7mm 145-170 gr bullets with a gc? are you sizing nose first or bottom first? i have sized some 45-70 340 gr with a gc and still put them in nose first. that bullet does have a good flat nose not to mess up the gc. the 7mm bullet is a seaco bullet . any help?

686,

I size all my boolits nose first in the star sizer. If I am sizing a spitzer with a sharp nose, I sometimes use a smaller caliber boolit or a flat nose of the correct caliber to push out the freshly sized spitzer. This prevents anything from touching the nose and changing it's shape as well as preventing a dimple in the gas check from the previous boolit.
