Hi everyone,
I have a question about a shifting over all length of my reloads. I am frustrated because I don't understand what is causing it to change. I am loading .40 with 180 GRN Xtreme plated rnfp. My press is a Hornady LNL AP using RCBS carbide dies.
Basically I will be loading rounds with no problems then I will feel more resistance on a certain case while seating the bullet. I then take the freshly seated round and notice there is a little bunching of the plating near the mouth of the case mostly on one side and the over all length is out of spec. I cull the bad round and I then continue to reload and might not have a issue for 75 cases then it might happen with two cases in succession. It's seems completely random. Sometimes it will be five in a row of rejects then no issues for two hundred rounds. The cases that are problematic all have different head stamps.
This is only happening with .40 as I just reloaded 3k 9mm without any trouble. I have never had problems like this and I have gone through a metric ton of .40s.
Thanks for reading.
