Firstly, I dont want people recommending me other bullets that are larger. I have a project I'm working on and that's my focus. Also, I've shot the .30 Carbine bullets in .327 one at a time before with good results, but using the smaller bullets presents a challenge.
Here's the deal: I'm trying to use .30 Carbine bullets in .327 because they're the cheapest bullet I can get that can handle the high pressure and velocity of .327, but the issue is the bullet diameter is smaller than what .327 normally uses. Because of this I'm having an issue where after neck expanding using either a .327 or .30 Carbine expander, the bullets are loose after seating and crimping for some reason makes them looser.
I had done a dummy round last week to see how the tension was and it looked promising, but when I got to loading I wanted the bullet deeper in the case, so I did that only to find when I did the neck tension was lost.
This makes no sense, but it is what it is.
Now I'm wondering if using an undersize sizer will help give me the tension I want to hold the bullet in place. My thinking is if the outside of the case is made smaller that will make the inside as well.
I don't plan to run the undersize die the full length of the case, just the portion the bullet would be seated to and I would still use the .30 Carbine expander.
