[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 1389028, member: 97793"] Using the Barnes maximum loading. The 7X fired may be showing a little wear? [ATTACH=full]88470[/ATTACH] If the brass is not stretching a lot on firing, there should not be any case separations. When FL sizing, only bump the shoulder back about .002" If fl die is contacting shell holder when sizing, shoulder set back is about .005" and not enough to be a problem. But more than needed in a bolt action. The primer pockets will get loose first. Watch for any gas leakage past the primer. Check bolt face after shooting. I have 19 firing on 243 Win brass using a FL bushing die. The neck would crack using a standard FL die. I do not anneal, as its hard to get it right. [/QUOTE]
