Using 2500 lube... this is the first time in over 40 years I'm not using home brewed lube. Interestingly,there's no perceived difference in this and my own blend. I bought 5 sticks? from them. Considering how tiny amount of lube that's getting used.... well, 5 sticks is like a lifetime supply. So that's nice,and it seems to be slap happy. Just a lazy convenience.
This rig was trued up,and I set the headspace to .0015 over what this particular FL die produces. At this power level the cases are coming out of the chamber exactly the same length they were sized to,as measured with comparator.
Getting a small/medium amount of soot blowback on neck(TY Tony Boyer) and zero on case body. So loaded neck clearance is dang near spot on. Primers are starting to flatten and overall the fired case is not showing any abuse. New Starline brass. Running around .0015 neck tension at where the GC sits. The custom M die is made for this boolit,the second step(closer to case mouth) is .0005 under as cast body. So no flare,but you gotta get after the inside bevel smartly. I use a Lyman that's the longer gentle bevel.
Getting VG alignment prior to seating op with a V groove gizmo we made. Actually have two sizes,one long,one shorter. The 243 works on either... the long one might be a wee bit easier. I'll post a pic of these on the next go round.
