Title: Best of the day
Post by madsenshooter on Apr 2nd, 2016 at 10:31pm
My odd ball Krag bullet got a bit Krag friendlier today.  I found I had an extended ram that allowed me to run the bullets up into a Krag seating die, through said die and into a Lyman 329 top punch for the 308329 cast spitzer.  That reduced the meplat by about .030", without otherwise changing the bullet.  Let the ram cam over, easy little swaging job.  The hollowpoint was snagging at 7 o'clock on the chamber edge, but now the rounds feed through my 92/96 like the proverbial greased lighting!
