Thanks for the suggestions guys.I will clean the die first even thou its new. Redding does say to clean the protective film off before use. I can see a slight crimp on the case so i know there is no bell effect going on. I also heard you can seat and crimp at 2 separate stages for more...

Loading Sierra 95 gr. FMJ[8105] on my Redding T7 press. OAL set at 1.005. I am checking each round with my Wilson case gage. I have set the taper crimp light.Only 5 of about 20 rounds would pass on the case gage. The first and last 4. Case OAL at .751 So I check the cases thru the Wilson...

I bought the T7 as my first press 2 months ago along with their trimmer, powder measure, scale and dies. So I am certainly no expert on the subject . I have deprimed and resized over 1,000 .223 cases and reloaded over 400 .380 rds at this time. I really like this setup. Service...

You are correct RC. Made sense when I sketched it out on paper.

I meant the bullet would seat deeper in the longer case [oops]

OK,one last question.Maybe I am over thinking this. If I have different length cases and I seat the bullet to a set OAL, some bullets will be deeper in the shorter cases which raises the psi in those compared to the longer cases. Makes me think I should trim to the shortest length case I...

Sounds good. I had about a dozen I can recover[in the first 100 out of the bag]. I have both cannelure and non cannelure bullets. So when I use the cannelure ones I need to make sure my cases are the same length for crimping,right? Do I...

I just started to reload .223 for the first time. I am working with once fired brass . According to the Lyman specs , Case length should be at 1.760 after sizing. If this is correct ,how far can I deviate from that? I have some cases that are around 1.737-1.743. Do I toss them? How far the...

I just started reloading a couple of weeks ago. I bought the Redding T7 and I am loading 380 ACP right now. Its a quality press.So far ,no problems. However I have no experience with other presses. I have Redding die sets for .380, 9mm, 7m-08 , 30-06 and .223. I think when I really get...

Went up to PA. this weekend to see the kids. Stopped in the gun shop I use to go to. Picked up a brick of Federal sp primers for $37. and a pound of H335 powder. Walked out pretty happy. :D

I will keep that in mind. I think the max load was 3.2. How can you tell when you are near max? By the book specs, and or with a Chronograph?

Sounds good. Thanks

Finally I got a chance to start reloading. I am using a Redding T7 press with the Redding 88170 die set. Using Winchester 231 powder and Sierra 90 gr. JHP bullets set to .925 OAL. All this to Lymans 49th edition book. I started with their 2.1 grain spec. Loaded and fired 1 round in the...

Anyone here that uses the Forster primer seater? Looks nice.
