I love load development, but honestly, I get almost as much satisfaction watching the merry go round that is the 1050 shell plate in action.90% of the fun of reloading is developing test loads for each of your rifles. I have a journal spanning 12 years of pet loads. I envy you.
How are you trimming your brass? The last time I messed with the trimmer was for .357 brass on the RCBS with a drill chucked up. Sprays golden mist pretty well.
Any thoughts on what I did: ending with the beginning die? I decap before cleaning my brass AND I have an extra sizing die so that's my next plan.
Sounds like a more extreme version of running them through a Lee Factory Crimp Die.
My concern is that you might have swaged your bullets down too much. Did you check their diameter after doing so? What about OAL?
if you have to post size to get your ammo to gage, you have a problem in your loading setup.
What would you say are the most likely culprits? Troubleshooting is still something I'm trying to get a grasp on.
