[QUOTE="Bill Maylor, post: 386679, member: 12068"] You guys are good. All the things posted I am guilty of in some way. The brass is all winchester, the primers were CCI. I bought all Lee stuff, 3die sets and crimp dies, They have the Fl dies in the sets. The Breach lock challanger kit. Lee OALcase gage and cutter,pocket primer, RCBS flash hole deburing tool , Lee powder scale. I found on utube how to make a bullet that slides in a case when it is chambered then mesured. My rifle mesured 2.8555 three times in a rowe, so I tried to set the Lee seating die to 2.8545. Only a few round came out that length. I am not sure what head space is? I guss I over worked the brass in the prep work. The 35th round misfired and when I went to eject the shell the round came apart and power went everywere:rolleyes:. It was a fun day. I am going to read the instructions again an reset up the dies and try again. When I clean my rifles I always put 1 drop of Breakfree oil on the fring pin. Is that to much? I will also say the grouping of the hand loaded rounds that went off were 1/2 the size of the factory loadsgun)Bill Maylor.. [/QUOTE]
