Since my post on another member's thread seemed a bit off-topic to me after posting,I decided to start my own. A member wrote that primer pockets would become too loose to reuse a case after about 5 or 6 re-loadings. I have not found this to be true with my 22-250 brass and I'm wondering if I'm just not getting the pockets clean enough. I am slowly working my way to the best ammo I can make for accuracy. So far I am just backing off the resizing die to avoid pushing the shoulder back,basically neck sizing only with a RCBS FL die and using Varget and 52gr bullets only to keep things simple...for now. The pocket cleaner leaves some carbon deposits and I want a better way. My questions are: Is the pocket loosening up not a problem with this round and what works best for cleaning pockets? Also,is the sizing die in this set a "bushing" die,also mentioned on another thread. Thank you.
