i was just reading some posts trying to educate myself more on reloading and seen someone say they had sooty handgun brass and it was cause by low pressure.
my question is-does sooty rifle brass (223) mean low pressure or the brass isn't sealed/sized right?
when I set up my FL size die I set it up to where I would chamber brass and it wouldn't chamber so I would turn it in a bit and a bit more until it would chamber smoothly. I was just wondering if im sizing it wrong and leaving a gap for soot.
the soot is only on the neck to where it stops and starts into the shoulder but its not very sooty I have to wipe it with a rag or something.
