Sometimes the problem is not with the powder but with case tension on the bullet! Years ago I had a set of LEE .45 Colt dies that when I shot the ammo I reloaded was extremely dirty and that was with...

Newtire,
Glad it worked out for you !!!!! Just a note---I wait until after the first fireforming to trim the cases, it usually saves work as you MAY not have to do it twice (right away that is )....

Not yet but it shoots great in my .35 Rem. with 35 gr. IMR 3031. Should give app. 1900+ fps. Groups 3 shots in less than 1 " at 50 yds. I would try 35-40 gr. 3031 in the .358 Win. That is where I'm...
With the crimping problem, it sounds like you are flareing the brass too much ! Also think about your rifle cleaning practices----if you use excessive WD 40 which is a penetrint it could kill the...
MIke,
