I have a lee pacesetter die set for 7.62 x 54r, and a RCBS Neck sizing die for the same caliber. The Lee set only came with a .308 expander. The RCBS came with both the .308 and .311 (.310) expander.
My question is, what should I measure inside the case neck after using the .311 expander? I will be using SPEER .311 180 SP bullets.
I measured and only read around .306-.308 and not one at .310 or .311?? Is this what I am supposed to see?
I have reloaded straight walled pistol brass for years, this is my first attempt at neck cartridges. With my SDB, I can flare the cases to except the bullets, how does this work with these dies, as I am not seeing the measurements I thought I would see? Am I missing something.:banghead:
I am using a Lee Classic press for reloading these cases.
thanks,
