Thread: First reloads

Get a FL die. I think this will solve your right to chamber problems.
My 243 was the only rifle I had that would develop neck donuts too. Have a check for this. Easy test is if a projectile will pass through a fired neck. If no go you’ve the dreaded donut. Throw them away if so. If you’ve not FL sized then brass flow is probably going to be reduced though.

All fired in the rifle.

That said, I have had to pull hundreds of rounds apart over the years because I made mistakes.

Yeah next time I'll triple check.

I have a full length die. Just always read that once it's been fire formed to the chamber then neck sizing is the best thing to do.

Yes. I have some that will let a projectile go through the neck.

How do you fix the neck donuts?
