    Crimping 308win subsonics?

    Hi all,
    This has happened at the range the odd time and hunting the last week which cost me a deer.
    I’ve had a issue only with the odd subsonic 151gr HP cast lead projectile in 308win. The problem is when I feed a loaded round into the chamber and the bullet occasionally hits the side of the chamber pushing the projectile into the cast fully all the way in. I don’t have this problem in my 300 blackout.
    At the moment I’m getting an ES of 20 fps with the 151gr HP cast subsonics and a 10 fps ES supersonics with 168gr.

    I full length size everything.
    It happens in all Winchester, Starline and Lapua brass.

    I was either going to get a smaller neck bushing or a crimp die.

    Cheers
    Tikka
