These were initial bullet seatings and not the final product. I have a hornady comparator that I use to verify the lengths. I wasn't interested in the OAL at the point I was taking the pictures. I was concerned with the bullet distortion I was seeing. I had no interest in going further until I...

Thanks again guys. The new bullets I seated in the cases I'm 100% happy with. While I may see the ring where the bullet contacted the die I don't feel it when I run my finger down the bullet. The 7 mag rounds displayed the same ring and I've been more than happy with their accuracy, tightest...

@gamestalker I did chamfer the brass, brush the inside of the neck, resized the brass, checked the length and loaded. Now maybe I didn't chamfer the neck enough, I treated this brass the same as I treated the brand new 7 mag brass that I loaded without issue. I bought another set of dies to...

@spclpatrolgroup interesting, I was thinking that I might pickup some different bullets just to see if there would be any differences. All I have right now to test with are 130gr sst and 140gr sst. @Funshooter45 I did hit the case neck with chamfer tool and even put some hornady one shot case...

Ok I'll look into that. On my 7mm I can see the rings but not really feel them. The 270 on the other hand I can feel it that is why I grew concerned that maybe something was off. It's hard to see in the picture but if you look closely at the 7mm you can see the two lines. Either way I'll take...

I'm not sure of the exact length in the photo, I'd have to measure when I get home. They were not a final product, those were just initial seating. The cases were all under 2.540. Most were close to 2.45 but I could measure again when I get home. Thanks

Hello- I'm fairly new to reloading until recently all my experience was for a 12 ga. I purchased a hornady lock-n-load classic a few months back and started reloading for my 7mm mag. So far I've been very happy with the results and my groups have improved over factory ammo. This weekend I...
