OK how many do we have like this?
They are probably ok to shoot, but if you don't have a lot I would say to just pull the bullets and start over, of course the flip side is if there are not that many just shoot them.
You can decap live primers and reuse them if you are worried about saving the primers, just go slow, be gentle, and make sure you are wearing safety glasses.
If you do want to reuse the primers I would mark ammo loaded with them (sharpie mark on the case for example) just so you know which ones they are in case you have any issues with them you know it might be the those primers.
Hard to tell with your bullets but if 1.15 is a no go and 1.14 is fine if it was me I would go ahead and seat future rounds to 1.125/1.13 just for some wiggle room.
Hodgdon shows
115 GR. SPR GDHP Hodgdon CFE Pistol .355" 1.125" 5.3 1059 23,200 PSI 5.9 1185 31,800 PSI
with a 115 so if you are at 5.2gr of CFE-P .01 deeper shouldn't cause any pressure issues IMO.
Now if you were at 5.9gr it might or might not be a different story
(Note: it it not so much OAL as how much of the bullet is in the case, ie case volume. Same bullet deeper - less volume=higher pressure different bullets at the same OAL will result in different case volume do to different bullet shapes, pointy round nose vs Flat point, HP, different shape round nose etc)
Since yall are being extremely helpful on my lee resizing/depriming die the depriming screw up top will not move/is stuck where I couldnt loosen it or tighten it I've tried pliers and wrenches but nothing worked what would be a good solution to loosen it.
Two good wrenches the correct size and some muscle, if it still does not want to move maybe some liquid wrench/oil/WD40 etc and let it soak for a bit.
As I recall from the factory mine was pretty tight and I had to "lean" on it a bit. (didn't need to be that tight)
It needs to be tight but not to tight, you want the pin to side up if something is wrong and not bend, but not slide up during normal use.
Azrocks the plunk test failure was happening before this over crimp. It was when I had a minor crimp on it about 1/8-1/4 turn extra from making contact with the case. Originally would the issue been too much flare on the case mouth or would it of been possibly not enough from the sizing die?
You just want to remove the belling/flare you created earlier, how much turn varies.
You want it to look like the picture LiveLife posted.
Test a dummy,
resize the case, make sure it plunks, expand and seat a bullet, loosen up the die you are crimping with until you get none.
Add a little, plunk, no go, ok add a little more, if ok you are there.
More crimp will not help neck tension, and will most likely make it worse...
I case gauge all my match ammo to make sure, practice ammo I don't, but say out of 500 using range brass there will be a few that won't gauge, sometimes none, sometimes 10 or more, just depends on the brass.
