I'm having a problem reloading 7.62x25 Tokarev.
When I resize the brass, the outside of the neck measures .325 or so.
It drops into the barrel perfectly.
When I seat a bullet it expands the neck to .330+.
It doesn't want to fully seat in the chamber.
If I try to crimp it, it seems like it squishes just the very top of the neck in a downward position, so the neck becomes even larger yet. :banghead:
How can I get the ENTIRE neck portion to stay below .327 or so?
I've tried crimping with the seating die & also tried a Lee FCD.
This is the only "Pistol" round I reload that has a shoulder.
I also reload 9mm, 38spl, 357mag, 45 Colt, 45 ACP & 223 Remington.
No issues with any of those rounds.
