I just finnished reloading 223. Thought I understood everything. Here is where I am minus the hair pulling. 3 die carbide rcbs set. I have tried with 2 unprimed shell an am crushing the bullet at the top. What the hell? Do i need to flair deeper? Do I not need to crimp and move the seating die way off only to push the bullet to correct depth? Plus, PLUS ! I did a search for Reloading 45 acp. Clicked on a video, got stuck, then tried to use adobe to open, clicked back to the video page and it was a porn vid and got a virus! I am and feel like :banghead: cause of the reloading questions I have.
Tumbled
Deprimed
measured and all are just under max case length
reprimed
set the next die to flair just enough to get bullet in.( should I go deeper?)
put in the seating diejust to the shell holder and then backed off a full turn.
The shell still feels really tight as it goes in the die. Do I need to adjust the die higher? The bullet wont go deeper and when I thought It was seating deeper, it was pushing the hollo point into itself crushing the bullet at the top.
Help please? any pointers hints.
