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 picked up rcbs kit @ cabela's and rcbs die's for .308. when i seat the bullet into the case on the press it goes in very easy is that right? i checked overall length and it is right on i try to pull the bullet out by hand and it wont come out. so am i just being paranoid about it or is it the...

I had had a question about COAL and got a answer. The answeR was COAL is a testing thing,everybody is different. So if you go up in the powder load, seat the bullet higher?(away from the powder) How much? Im am shooting mostly out of a AR so I have a 2.260 min. Example: I just loaded 52gr Sierra...

I have an RCBS hand primer that is supposed to work with LR and SR. I cant get the 338LM shell holder to fit into it. Should it? Or do I need another part?

I bought some used competition Rcbs dies for 308win. Ive only been reloading for about 6mths so bare with me if this dumb question. I cant seem to get the bullet seated accurately everytime. Im seating the bullet to 2.820 but Ill get some that are 2.821 or 2.19.5 sometimes 2.17. This really...

Finally got my first long range gun . Guy I bought it from said seat off the lands at .015 thousand. He was shooting 2.9"@600yds with this gun and has the load development with it . Just need to make shure I load properly . Have loaded hunting rifles before but nothiing like a long range...

I am loading for a 6 dasher and i am looking for some general seating depths for the 105vld. 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. I am having some good results at 5thou...

I am sorta new to the magnums in reloading. I was smart enough to get a Wilson case gauge for it. Instructions said to set up the adjustable gauge put in a fired case from the rifle your loading for. I did that and then set the bushing for the neck. I has some new ufired Winchester brass and...

Where does everyone start seating these in relation to jump to the lands when working up a load? I am working with 162 amax in a 7mm-08.

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.

Is there a minimum seating depth for 175 SMK's on FGMM trimmed to 2.008? I mean I know i cant go too deep, but is there a recognized point where the bullet is seated to deep? Thanks, Taylor

Hi guys. I'm new to reloading and I was wondering about experimenting with the seating depth of my loads for my new Rem 700 SPS Varmint in .243. I have measured the length to the lands with a homemade dummy round with low neck tension that gives me very repeatable measurements, confirmed with...

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...

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...

Does anyone know the thread size for the now Hornady Chamber-All tool (formerly the Stoney Point) for measuring seating depth to the lands? I want to make a modified 7-08 case but don't know what size tap I'd need......

Hi gang. Ok...I spent yesterday doing case prep on 50rds of once fired Black Hills .223 ammo. To day I actually re-loaded for the first time ever. I am using RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme press and precision FL dies. Here is the deal. I started checking the COAL on each round I made...I am...

Just got my RCBS 338 Lapua dies in yesterday. I went to seat a bullet and it left a ring towards the top of the bullet. I tryed adjusting it every witch way and it still leaves a ring. Anyone know What is wrong with the dies or am i just not doing something right

Okay, first batch of 5 rounds just to get a feel for things... got to the RCBS competition bullet seater in .308 cal... using 155 scenars i cannot get the die set up to seat the bullet deep enough... its running around 2.950 at the moment and i need to get it down to around 2.800... why is this...

I am working on a new load for my rifle. I have selected berger 155 hunting vlds and am using r-15. After researching about loading vlds and reading the berger bulletin about them, I selected a near max powder charge of 46.0 grains, then loaded some work up single rounds in half grain...
