Went to a yard sale and there was a 5 gallon bucket of mixed .223. Mostly LC The price was $45 I snapped it up... Owner said there was a sticker under the lid.
Sticker read:
One Time .223
x Tumbled (1 hr)
x Lubed
x Deprimed Resized
x Tumbled (2hr)
x Swagged (I assume swaged) (I inspected and looks good)
X Trimmed, deburred chamferred 1.74"-1.745 "griraud" ( I am assuming Giraud)
Not necessarily my process but it has all the correct ingredients
I wanted to load a 10 to see how they went through the press and worked.
So I measure 10 or so (all within the range above) and began to make 10 dummy rounds...
Here's what I found:
My Mr. bullet feeder would not seat the bullet on the case like it normally does.
The necks needed to be expanded.
Question: Any harm in running the cases through the Lyman Neck sizer?
Will I have to retrim/
I would test this however I lent the die to a friend on vaca at the moment.
