Hello,
I'm new to reloading. I've just reloaded my first batch of 38 special and followed the data on the lyman's reloading manual. It states that the round must be an overall length of 1.470". This is exactly what I did. Then I roll crimped each round.
The problem is that with this overall length, I did not seat the bullet to the middle of the cannelure. In fact, I didn't see it in the cannelure at all, it's seated just under.
Do I have to throw out this batch? Is there potential harm the roll crimping die?
Thanks,
Mike
