Thanks guys for all the input.
I took all of the loaded rounds, and the only ones that were hard to chamber were Lake City cases. I turned the sizing die down just a hair more, and the LC empty cases chambered fine.
Now the question...I began pulling the bullets (impact puller) on the 30...
Thanks
Thanks guys. I aught to say, it is not HARD to lock, just slightly harder than on factory ammo. I think the ones that are a little harder are LC cases fired once from an M1.
I try some of the empty cases, and adjust the sizing die and report back.
I am loading some .308 with mixed headstamps and 168 Hornady A-max...42.5 gr of IMR 4895 in a Remington 700 SPS Varmint.
At 2.800 COL, the bolt is harder to lock, and the bullets appear as though they are against the lands after I load it and then eject it.
How can I tell what COL gives me...
