I have recently started to reload for the tokarev cartridge. I am having issues with the neck od after seating the bullet. I am using 2 different bullet weights in hard cast and powder coated lead. I am sizing after coating. It is coming out right at 311.
I am using S&B once fired brass and a lee three die set.
After seating the bullet it stretches the od of the brass neck enough that it won't chamber until I I run the loaded round back through the sizing die. I loaded 20 each of them and they seem to function and shoot properly but I'm not sure why it needs to be resized after the bullet is seated.
Any help with this or is this just how it goes?
