Doesn't look like your trimmed cases have had the neck-mouth's chamfered; might want to do this

yeah was trying out the new lee quick trim die with deluxe cutter Chamfer blade, and I agree it doesn't really do enough to tidy the neck up.

Good you sorted the problem. Interested to see the results of the new ladder test.

I have de primed heaps in the press never had 1 go off just be gentle and make sure you have safety glasses on

I found I didn't have to de prime it as when I bumped the shoulders with the sizing die it actually pushed the primes out anyway, wasn't expecting that as the die has a vent in it.

Right so finally back at the range today making shit go bang.
Re did my ladder and the results were supprisingly similar however the speed was better.
I won't bore you with the average groupings of the other loads but here is a pic of the load I have settled on.
It's doing 3107fps average and as you can see laser accurate granted only 2 rounds but 7mm center to center or .27"
I'm going to make up a few more of these and shoot some 3 shot groups to get more data and monitor consistency but I'm pretty happy with the accuracy.

So how much powder are you chucking in each case? My load with the 300wsm is nearly 70 grains under a 208 eld :D

Very good. I would just leave it at that and go hunting. Watch for the nickel flaking off those cases and getting into your dies. Ut can damage them.

Desperately, I'm almost outta mince and we go through a fair bit as the kids love venni mince burgers, spag bol, meat loaf, savory mince etc etc

Perfect opportunity to test the load, can't see there being to many problems.

Lack of time, and my inability to find deer of late :D

Bit the same here, seen a few sambar and have been busy chasing possums but spring isn't far off so a few should end up in the freezer.

Finally had a chance to resize and prep the rest of my brass and weigh out charges, will seat projectiles tomorrow, hopefully shoot a couple groups this weekend if I'm lucky.
