So every once in a blue moon a shooter needs to ask a dumb question.
I am fairly new go reloading (used prime for a long time) and am having an issue.
I’m on my 4th firing of Lapua brass ( 6.5 CM 130 OTM Hybrids) and I am having crap neck tension even after sizing. Now I’m not a weak guy. But I should not be able to seat a bullet or pull one, after sizing.
all measurements after sizing are in specifications ( using a .289 bushing). Measurements are as follows .290-.291 neck, and shoulder bump of 1.520.
am I doing something wrong? Is the neck tension an indicator that I amjust work hardening the brass too much?
