Ignition Override
Member
These are my first complete reloads, any ammo.
With about twenty rounds of once-fired Prvi. the bolt would not quite go all the way forward, or maybe it closed a few times, but will not rotate. These rounds were all fed from the same old internal magazine (extractor engaged), but the other 12 or so worked fine.
This has never happened with new Prvi or very old surplus ammo.
After comparing side by side with a new Prvi from the box, can easily see that the shoulder taper on Both these problem reloads and the successful reloads is about one half the taper length of the new Prvi, and the taper begins at a slightly longer distance (fwd) from the case rim.
All of these reloaded cases appear identical.
My only sizing was with the necks, as advised by many LE owners, for extended case life.
Might not even have a full-length resize die, but don't know if that is the solution.
Both the new and once-used Prvi cases were only fired in the exact same
LE #4.
Will be out of town a few days. Am so very fortunate that some very lucky contacts allowed me to acquire a heap of surplus ammo.
