We hand loaded a batch and did the following.
- Checked sizing die, and made sure it was screw down another 1/4 turn after lifting the ram and setting it.
- Trimmed the necks, the longest ones needed around 2mm off.
- Started again with my cartridge OAL and tripled checked, am 100% sure bullet is not touching the lands.
So somewhere between the 3 he was a little off. Double checking everything though now they load and extract smooth as
People underestimate the value of measuring the case headspace when setting their sizing die. I check the cases before and after sizing every time i set the sizing die, .005" too high and the casewill grow longer when F/L sized, .005" too low and you're case will be minimum spec, unnecessarily over working the brass.
case length was 2mm off? a major issue there too.
glad you got it sorted mate, no go out and shoot it
