How is it possible that I have poor neck tension?
Inside case mouth is .2195 or .2200
Bullet is a Speer 52 grain HP, measures .2240
I could tell right away when I seated a bullet that something wasn't right. I could push the bullet deeper against a 2" x 4" with the palm of my hand.
Brass is all range pickup once fired LC '14. I had to remove primer crimp so I know once fired.
Prior to loading these, I loaded 100 rounds with LC '18 brass and 40 grain Varmageddon. Great neck tension.
I used the same sizing die and never adjusted it between loadings. RCBS .223 small base.
Anyone have any ideas? It's pretty frustrating. I have no answers.
