[QUOTE="Deviant, post: 2478883, member: 106404"] I had a message from someone in this thread but it wouldn't let me reply so here is my 5.7x28 load process. This is a picky little round to load for. I use a significant amount of Hornady one shot to prevent scraping the lacquer off. I'm normally not a fan of One shot on bottle neck cases but I have tried everything and it is the best for this round. When I size them I keep the round in the die for a full 5 seconds and then rotate it 180 degrees and size again for 5 more seconds. Sounds redundant and not ideal because it will likely shorten brass life but since doing this I have no rounds that won't chamber anymore. This round requires a pretty fair bullet crimp to function properly and get an efficient ignition so your brass must all be trimmed to the same length. When you seat your bullets do it very slowly or you will have issues with slightly compressing the case and it will not chamber properly. I use a chamber gauge or ammo checker from elite ammunition to check every loaded round to insure that it will properly chamber. You can use small rifle non magnum primers or small pistol magnum primers. I don't recommend standard small pistol because they are too soft and show premature pressure signs in this high pressure round.
