[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2580059, member: 5437"] What you are experiencing is not a PRC specific issue and could happen with any round. Sounds like you got it sorted out last night. That seat die also crimps. You were crimping the bullet before fully seated the way it was adjusted. Then, as the die finished seating it collapsed the shoulder out causing the clearance issue. Thought it might help to more fully understand what's going on. [USER=119212]@dustbag[/USER] fix is a good one that backed the crimp die up enough to not be crimping. I don't crimp my bolt rifle ammo and don't like the crimp built into that die set at all. When a crimp is desired I would do it after the bullet is fully seated in a different step entirely using a different die. [/QUOTE]
