I'm putting 30 cal gator checks (bought from NOE) on my 311299 copy, also from NOE. Bullets are cast from straight lino and drop .312. I size to .311.
My process:
- Seat the check on the shank.
- Set the check/bullet in the sizing die.
- Seat, size and lube.
I cannot believe how much force is required to seat this check. It takes significant pressure. As in "OOMPH" and "I swear I'm going to break the handle of this thing!" (Thing being the lubrisizer.)
Thoughts?
