I have had several days not go right lately in my reloading room, it is like someone else
has took me over, an alien perhaps, I can't get the overall length to settle in while I crimp
some 357 mag 170 grain cast gas check bullets in a light load.
The OAL is supposed to be 1.590" & if I set them to that length before I crimp with the Lee
357 crimper they end up 1.574" // if I use the RCBS seat die to crimp them they end
up 1.580".
I even tried to crimp one using the mathematical difference & that was a disaster.
Every day this week it has been something else, I do not posses enough strength
to scream as loud as I want to, besides it would backfire if it sounded like a 5 year
old girl screaming.
I suppose it is a fool that searches for sanity in the mind of a reloader.
Question is double,,, do you have answer as to why the length gets shorter, plus do
you have days like this that seem to run together?
What worked yesterday doesn't work today,,,, why?
Perhaps the cast bullets aren't resized or something, I don't know how to cast bullets
my son does them for me.
My ignorance abounds somedays more than others, but if I question those who know
the answers then perhaps someday I will be able to answer these questions.
Over 20 years of this & I still run into stuff.
