    brass getting crushed during bullet seating

    I was trying to reload some 300 Blackout subsonic ammo last night. I had to stop after 3 rounds because the bullet seating die (from RCBS FL die set # 22401) started crushing the cartridge in the neck area. The deformation was uniform, almost like the shell was too long, so I don't think it was...

I know each barrel is different, but i didnt know if some of you guys have found a trend with the 105's? My records are showing that 15 into the lands is to much.

    Redding Competition Seating Die worth it for....

    Do you guys think this die is worth using for semi-auto (AR15). Should I just stick to the standard seating die? I'm loading for a SPR MK12 Mod0.

    Issue with primer seating, need HELP!

    So I had 2k + mixed, crimped, 5.56 brass processed by a guy. He said he was using a Dillon set up and Dillon swager. He had positive feedback from others so I went with him. Anyway, I am now having trouble seating primers. They either kind of "pop" in or get deformed in previously crimped brass...

    Seating depth and primers changes?

    I know that when you change primers you need to back the powder off and work back up, but would a different primer ( large to magnum primer ) change the seating depth? Or is it once the seating depth is established for a particular bullet and barrel then it becomes a fixed and known quantity...
