Just finally got everything ready to reload some 25-20’s for my Savage 23. Bought most of this stuff a couple years ago.
Thought I would start by full length sizing my new cases and after doing a few of them I looked at one and it seemed that it wasn’t resizing all the way down to the base so I tried to chamber one in my rifle and it really didn’t want to go in and didn’t want to extract either.
Got out my micrometer and this is what I got;
Head diameter- .352 (manual says it should be .349, factory new cartridge measures .344.5
Rim diameter- .387. ( manual says.408, factory cartridge measures .403)
What are my options? I have emailed the company I got them from but haven’t received a response yet so I’m not going to bad mouth them. I paid a lot for them and really expected better quality than this. I also know that these cases are very scarce and don’t know where I could find replacements. Oh, and the parent case for these is 7.62 Nagant, which I thought was interesting.
