So I just finished my first 10 reloads. They are 10mm, 180gr XTP, 8.1gr Blue Dot, WLP primers. Everything seemed to go well with the exception of a few bullet seating issues on my first 2.
However when I ran them through the FCD, every round caught the carbide ring on the way out. I have heard this means something is wrong in my other steps, any ideas on what would cause this? I am at a loss
UPDATE UPDATE:
I added this in so people facing this problem don't have to go through the whole thread. Based upon replys and further research, if you are bumping on the way into the die, you may have an issue with your previous steps as the round is being resized. A bump on the way out, is normal, it is the carbide ring smoothing the crimp out a bit.
