[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1287886, member: 96274"] Thankyou for all your help rcoody and I have just a few more questions. I finally got some rounds loaded up last night and for know I sorted my brass based on the headspace measurement I had 30 out of 50 that where within .001 I then measured where the bullet touches the lands with the hornady comparator. I have enough mag length so I decided to first seat the bullets to just touch the lands, then loaded with 1 grain above min through max charge in .5 grain increments. Is that a good place to start or should I have started with some jump? The other thing that kind of bothered me is my forster seater die had some sort of issue. I would sometimes get a click on the return stroke and some tiny metal particles on the bullet. I took it apart and it seams the problem was some burs and the end of the seater stem being a lil rough. It seamed to clear up after several rounds and all the bullets seated within . 001, but I'm worried it could be damaging the stem or possibly gulling the sleeve. Idk if I need to worry about it but I'm thinking I should contact Forster and see what they say. [/QUOTE]
