Good information...thank you Brother!

Gentlemen, Great response regarding salvaging primers! Given the cases have bulges, and would not fit into the chamber of the rifle, I do not think they'd fit into the resizing/depriming die....wouldn't want to get them stuck. Tried to cut the end off of one of these screw-ups-in-question...

Thank you SidecarFlip and Kennibear. Super information I will use. By the way, do either of you have a suggestion for safely removing 107 primers from this group of cases I screwed-up....short of hitting an awl with a hammer and destroying the primers? Thank you

mtwarych, Thank you for your input. This makes sense. I'll have to experiment. This is for an AR platform. The rounds that I did not crimp were all spot-on. Perhaps, crimping is not necessary. I undertook this because I purchased rounds with the cannelure on them and reasoned I HAD to...

Thank you Gents for your response. Kennibear, I did trim the cases...none of which were range pick-ups. I am using an RCBS .223 die set. You think I should switch to the Lee Factory Crimp Die? For the record, this was my first try at loading with cannelure bullets. Zero problem loading with...

I have both rifles and jumped on this stuff in a store feeding frenzy. Has anyone reloaded this in the above weapons? Also, someone recently told me a 180g bullet would better serve the 300WSM than the 168g HPBT. Comments most appreciated....new to reloading:)

Thanks to you folks that took some time to address my questions. All valuable information I will consider and incorporate into my reloading exploration!:)

I am new to reloading (picked a great time with all the AVAILABLE components out there!) and find it intoxicating. However, I do have a few questions, perhaps a bit simplistic, but I'd like to ask the "gurus." 1. I know the small "c" after a grain amount eg; 65.0c, means compressed. What...

Thanks for the welcome Dosh....Sonoita is sooo much cooler than Tucson!
