Hi Parashooter,

Thank you for the information. For clarification, the seating die loaded about 75 rounds with no problems and was not adjusted to crimp. I will, however confirm the proper set up per your suggestion.

Had not considered a full length sizing after removing the primer pin from the die. It makes sense as you tell it and if necessary I will follow your direction.

As I hope to equal Paul’s number of reloads per case I hate to toss a case unless there is a dangerous situation. I have a small number (<10) with cracks forward of the shoulder over the years since I first started shooting this rifle in 1976. I recently broke down and bought 400 WW new brass. My thinking - we never know when the well will go dry.
