Hi All, here are my details,
Bullets - Winchester 64g PP bullets, part number WB223PP64
Brass - Mostly lake city, but some Remington and other randoms
Press - Dillon 550.
Manuals – Hornady and Speer. Tend to like the Speer better
When loading the Winchester bullets they are falling into the brass after being pressed. I never get to the 4 position on turret. This all happens at position 3.
Hornady is based on a COAL of 2.2. Speer is 2.22. My press is currently produces rounds at a COAL of 2.217-2.219. Checked the bullet and the base is 2.24 as one would expect but, seems to taper very quickly to 2.23, hence the bullet falling into the brass. I have about 500 of these bullets so I don’t want to toss them, but the squib risk I feel is high on these am not getting that warm and fuzzy feeling.
Anyone seen this before? The only thing I can think of is I did come across some Winchester brass that strangely was short by about a 1/32 based on my Dillon case gauge, so I tossed it. This might be able to hold the bullet, but not sure the Dillon would size it correctly since its short in the case gauge. Any clues?
Or does someone what to buy about 450 Winchester bullets
No issues loading Sierra or Hornady bullets BTW.
