by the way, i have a few years reloading too. started Christmas day 1958.


Hmm, do they make bushing dies? Or can you crimp enough?

I don't have a clue about this round.

I know I have enough case neck tension with 75 amax in 223 at mag length, and the case neck, end of it, does NOT touch the bullet, but there is enough neck contact lower down that its fine... looks weird, shoots fine
