as a factory round, they shoot clean. feed well and go bang. my two issues is that they eat my decapping pins, and resizing can be a pain as they seem to suffer from bulging at the base.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Yeah, I could see with that would present a problem.
I have a separate single stage press with a universal RCBS decapping die, works well with everything except 223.
I have a smaller universal decapper for it, I like to deprim before they go into the tumbler.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Loaded 10 more test rounds for the Creed.
Bought 200 140 gr blems from Midway a while back.
Out of the first 15 I weighed I got 10 that weighed 140.5 grs.
Going with the A 4350 with these.
Also I decided to pull the bi-pod off the rifle and going back to the sand bags for the testing.
I believe it was screwing me up, well at least that's my excuse for the moment.
Time will tell as they say.

Randy, I shot my 25-06 once with a bi-pod on. Took that gizmo off and groups improved a lot. I think I have it in a shop drawer somewhere.
Doubt you'll miss yours. Bags just work better for me.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Bought the rifle used and it was on it, but
it's got to go at least for now.
It may be alright for hunting, but I've never used one.
Might come in handy if I were coyote hunting or something.
Maybe if I was prairie dog hunting, but we don't have any of those rascals around these parts.

I am using a Lee APP with decaping die. I have the decaping kit coming, and I think that will eliminate most of my issues with the norma brass. I made it through all 800 pieces and was able to get them primed. So, now I have almost 1k of 45lc, 400 38spl, and about 950 of 9mm to load.

But between the 9's and 38's I'd be close to tapping out.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Randy, a buddy of mine just gave me a Lee Universal de-capping die. Ought to work just fine. Question, as I've not used one before. On my sizer dies, do I keep the stem in or remove it? Seems like it would work pretty smooth after the Lee did it's job. Thanks. I feel like a rookie again!Vaquero wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 2:21 pmYeah, I could see with that would present a problem.
