Tagging in as interested in the answer. I run mixed HS as well and the majority is FC, Blazer, REM and Win.
I find it hard to believe your sizer die is going fail. Did you measure the actual bullets that had dropped in the case, or just bullets in the overall batch? After you took the step to re-run these cases through the sizer again, did you see if you attempted to seat the bullet without expanding, would you have enough neck tension?
Same thing after the expanding step? That might help narrow down if there’s an issue in either one of those steps.
I’ve resisted a Mr. Bullet feeder, so I don’t know the mechanism, but is there any chance the bullets can get seated further down than the step provided by the M die?
Questions only I have at the moment. Good luck.
This is when I measured the bullets to ensure they weren’t undersize. My second thought was that the 3 cases didn’t size properly or had not been sized. I pulled the bullets, and ran the cases through the sizing die with decapping pin removed. Inside case diameter was 3 thousandths under bullet diameter of .355, or actually .352 This is correct and has worked properly for 1500+ previous rounds.
