First time reloader with a brand-new Lee Loadmaster (Big Thanks to Shadowdog and and Darwin for their setup videos.)
In my first 100 rounds (literally), I had two oddities.
First, although all the .45ACP Winchester brass seemd fine, I had one Speer case mixed in. The primer on that round looked like it had a little round blob on the side that looked almost like melted solder that had re-hardened. It was about the size of the letter "o" in ".45 AUTO" printed on the case head.
Any hints on why this happens? What should I do with the round, disassemble it or shoot it?
Second, I had one round where the primer flipped over. What should I do with that round? Is is safe to use my brand new bullet puller when the primer is inserted backwards?
I would upload a picture, but the upload fails (numerous attempts). I'll try the IMG code instead:
Thanks for your advice.
