I understand the primer pockets expand easily. True?


I've never had a problem with primer pockets....if you don't load HOT 3-5 reloads is the norm....

Several challenges loading 5.7x28....coating on brass you cannot tumble only wash in Simple Green....cannot anneal brass because of coating limiting number of reloads....limited to True Blue powder but is a top performer....1/10 of a grain can push pressure high...

the problem i encounter is case stretch being a blowback bottle neck the shoulder tends to move forward as much as .200 inch.
i have cleaned and pin tumbled then recoated with spray lacquer . true blue is the powder of choice with explosive 35g bullets they ruin ground squirrels day.

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
