Excessive headspace causes the case head to violently impact the bolt face causing a false pressure sign via ejector mark.

You should not trim that much off the neck. Just get the Lee die. It compresses the neck around a mandrel using a cylindrical collet. It will uniform the inside of the neck. Another way would be to get a conical expander and flare out the case mouth to move the crimp outward, then size as usual...

You can size out the crimp using a Lee collet neck die

I use a pistol case flipped over the neck and my dial caliper.

Which is too much. You should instead measure the shoulder on your fired case and adjust the die to bump it .002", that's gonna be zero to minus 1/50th of a turn.

Did you measure the shoulder length on the new case and again after firing?

Prolly due to recoil. Note your hottest loads are impacting the highest.

I owned a 3-15 F1 and a 5-25 F1. The 3-15 glass had good resolution and contrast, but the image through the ocular looked narrow. There was a pronounced black ring at the extreme edges. It was like looking down a pipe for lack of a better term. But it was easy to set up and very forgiving in...

Do these have the same laser as the Kilo2400?

It's your primer. WLR has had lots out there. They leak.

It's not all in the image. The Vortex has superior mechanicals. Your scope is a toy in comparison.

I don't load for WSM but in my WM increasing oal and decreasing jump increases velocity and I'm nowhere near the lands, about .060" off.

What brass do you use currently that you think has more capacity than LC?

It doesn't matter what your app says. Get a good chronograph. I have tried very charge from 75 to 79grs of H1000 in various cases and the most I've seen is 3000 FPS.

Yes they are. This is a common Remmy problem. Too large of a FP channel and chamfer.
