Trying to load .32 acp
Using a hcl 77 grain bullet and 2.2 grains of titegroup
The load seems to be good in my WWII Beretta 1934 and Colt 1903.
Problem is I get quite a few "fat/Bulged" finished cartridges.
Problem is in the area where the bullet is seated.
I have fussed with the crimp to hell and gone.
Most are fine but quite a few WILL NOT Chamber!
I think it has something to do with the bullet not seating straight,but
I just can't get it right.
I have several Lee Factory Crimp Dies
(.40 - .45 etc)
They do a good job of resizing the finished cartridge.
I wanted to go that route with the .32 , but
Lee does not seem to make a
FCD in .32 acp
They make one in .32 H&R (which is the same diameter case as the .32 acp)
Since I am only interested in resizing ( I will crimp when I seat)
Do you think I can use the .32 acp with the crimp portion screwed all the way out ???
I amcurrently doing it single stage style on a rockchucker and a lee carbide 3 die set.
I have both a piggyback for the rockchuker and a 650 with case feeder.
Does anybody have experience with either of those in .32 acp.
Any recommendations ???
