I saw this and have looked into the Vista Outdoor news releases, and see no direct mention of Alliant Powder, or any primer or bullet business. According to this news release...

Assuming the extractor holds the cartridge firmly, the cartridge will go off. Jake in TX

To the OP. I saw your post last night and took a look at what I have. I've been reloading semi-auto pistol cartridges for over 40 years, but only in the last year have I had a .38/.357 revolver to load for. In fact I haven't shot more than 15 rounds of .357 Magnum through this Rossi revolver...

I have never seen primers packaged in anything air tight, I just store primed brass in cartridge boxes, waiting to be charged and bullets seated.

If I were you, I would contact the store, but be prepared to be told "all powder and ammo sales are final, contact the manufacturer." Then contact IMR / Hodgdon and tell them. Jake

RCBS calls this a Decap Die - Heavy Duty, and there is no other decapping die. Jake

It appears that you would need to replace the entire decap unit: https://www.rcbs.com/accessories/replacement-parts/16-87586.html Jake

No, I use no bushings whatsoever. As I said, the bottle necked cartridge resizing dies never get left in the press. I began reloading in the late 70's, using a Lee Reloader (AKA whack a mole) to reload what was then expensive 9mm Luger, and have expanded through the years. I reload 45 ACP on...

Lee lube is the only cartridge case lube I have ever used. However, I only lube bottle necked cases, and don't leave those resizing dies mounted. Jake

I would theorize there is quite a difference in the linkage configuration between the two presses, resulting in greater leverage with the RL 550b than the LNL AP. Have you tried both the .44 magnum and the .45 ACP with the LNL AP? I believe there would be very similar results there, just as...

My apologies, I did not look closely enough.

I just checked Hodgdon's load data. He is at max with 5.0 grains of 700-x. Jake in TX

They list it for 300 Blackout. You can download their guide in PDF format from https://www.alliantpowder.com/products/default.aspx It's toward the lower right. Jake

Also, in the downloadable reloaders' guide from Alliant Powder, they show a max charge of 20.9 grains of Power Pro 300MP for a 110 grain Federal SPRN. Page 85. And, welcome to THR. Jake

I recognize the rifle in question. It is a Sako L46, the model before the Vixen. It appears, because of the barrel band, that it is the Mannlicher stocked version. I have had quite good redults with Reloder 7 under 50 grain Blitz Kings. Jake in TX

Parallax will not affect focus. Another place to check is SWFA: https://www.swfa.com/blackfriday2018 Jake in TX

The 14th Amendment originally set the voting age to 21, in the second section. Per Wikipedia: "Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But...

If you used a bronze brush and copper cleaner together, you will get false indications. The copper cleaner is dissolving the copper out of the brush bristles. If you haven't yet, get some nylon bristled bore brushes.

This is reminiscent of "The Load" by Ed Harris, 13 gr Red Dot under a 200 gr cast lead bullet, producing about 1450 FPS from a 24 in barrel. Not sure if "The Load" should be used with lighter jacketed bullets; perhaps there are some here who have used it. Jake in TX

Alliant shows maximum charges and typically need to be reduced by 10% for a starting charge. Jake in TX
