Hornady dies kicking my butt.... again...
So my 6.5-30 jdj barrel and dies finally showed up from SSK. I’ve been patiently anticipating this day. I have .30-30 brass sized, annealed, and ready to convert to 6.5-30 brass. I’ve been playing with odd calibers and converting brass of all shapes and sizes for a pretty long time. And during that time I have learned to avoid Hornady dies. I’m sure some of you guys probably prefer Hornady dies and I respect that. What works for me certainly isn’t what works for someone else. I can’t even get the brass to start sizing beyond 1/16-1/8 of an inch before the neck collapses. And as usual I can’t get a picture to upload.
I’m frustrated, tired, and oviously have crazy expectations. I’ve never had a good experience with Hornady dies, although I can usually get them to load ammo. And I’ve never had much luck uploading pics here, but I have gotten a few to load.
