I am reloading my first batch of 8MM Mauser. I have 3 questions.
1. After full resizing, the .323 Hornady 150 G bullets wont fit into neck at all. Am I missing a step here? Belling? Using RCBS new 2 die set.
2. I was attempting to use 47.5 G of IMR 4064. Powder would not be compacted but case is pretty full. IMR website says 36G of IMR4064 as starting load. I was referencing Speer and Lyman manuals and get my load at 47.5G. Need some advice here...Im shooting a 98K rifle in good shape. (Im using a 505 RCBS scale)
My cases are just at max. length. Should I trim back?
I would prefer not to blow myself up...any tips would be appreciated.
