[QUOTE="Travis sawyer, post: 787755, member: 44620"] Thanks for the input. I do trim to 2.08" every time I reload. I've tried to get the bullets to stay in place with neck tension, honed the expander ball to .004" under bullet size and still does not hold the bullet in place. The problem that I have is that the bullet actually pulls out of the case .002"-.003" when loaded. But have not had any issue with the bullet being set back in the case. I am shooting 175 SMK and the crimp is the only way I've found to keep things in place. Many things I've read say not to exceed .004" on the neck to avoid run out due to the bullet sizing the neck. Any other advice on this would be much appreciated. I do notice a different feel to the recoil when bullets are in the mag, guessing that this is due to the BCG returning back over the next round. But when shooting I always take my time and get back into position. I find myself always striving for the best possible groups. I've put run 600 rounds through the rifle in the last month maybe half of those through the mag and have not seen a MOA group with the mag yet. Im using new armalite mags and the reason for the single loading for load testing is that it is the only way i have found that i can get a good group. Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
