    FL Sizing Difficulties

    Re: FL Sizing Difficulties I've always heard that for the M1A you should use SB dies. Else you risk slam fires or out of battery detonations. Is this just internet hype? I do use a primer pocket uniformer so the primers are seated a tad deeper than normal so that should help. My friend is...

    FL Sizing Difficulties

    Long time lurker but first time poster I have a question regarding FL sizing 308 brass. I'm using an RCBS small-base, FL sizing X-die for my SA M1A. I'm not using the "X feature" at this point. I lube my cases with Imperial sizing die wax. I'm having a hard time setting the shoulder back...

    Primer seating depth

    Re: Primer seating depth I recently purchased a Redding primer pocket uniformer and used it on my once-fired mil brass. After priming with CCI #34 primers for my M1A, the primers are sitting 0.012" to 0.015" below the case head. I haven't had a chance to see if they fire yet - but even if...
