Ok thanks ill have a go at that. I tried putting a bit of wax on pill etc but still no change. This is the first set of hornady dies that have left the ring on pills for me, but it is a fairly compressed load

Take stem, put in drill, roll up some wet and dry and give the inside contact edge a good skim. Mine havnt done it since. Bloody good seating dies really.

Sweet thanks mate ill give that a go too. Yea ive never really had any issues, I just have the old lock n load setup but it seems to work for me

If you lube for seating ie dip the projectile in graphite make sure you do them all, or its another variable you have added

Do those pills fit in the mag ok or are r u single loading?

The ring impression on the projectile obviously has no effect on the performance so I wouldn't bother changing anything

Very nice. Anyone have any photos of how these eldxs perform on animals?

Getting close to 300 RUM velocity with 208 gr , pretty damn good for a 300 Win.
