[QUOTE="jcno1, post: 3034548, member: 129069"] Collet dies are very good however be aware of your cases OAL. Trimming case to proper length is good to check even with new brass and especially after firing. You may find you will need to bump back the shoulder with a FL sizing. It’s a good thing to discover brass from various manufacturers and various lots within a given manufacturer have various “spring backs” or memory from the stresses of formation. I always try any ammo, factory or home rolled, through the action I am going to be using it in before hunting or loading into an arm for self defense. It is a variable I can control before triggering time. Another thought. I square my primer pockets on the 300 with a carbide cutter I got from Brownells. Chucks to a screwgun and squares base and depth of primer pocket. Assuring primer anvil has an even consistent base to rest upon and thereby a more consistent ignition. Changing this dropped my grouping size significantly. Thanks for listening! [/QUOTE]
