...Do you tighten the set screws on the dies for each calibre for each rifle in that you have a specific die for each chambering for each rifle? Or do you just adjust a single die each time to the requirements for the rifle of choice @ the time? ...
This is my only rimmed 8x57 and my first time attempting to size and reload any cases I've fired. So the dies are not set for each rifle. Typically I'll do that once I get a load working well.
For rimmed cartridges, I usually don't do the extra quarter turn when setting the sizing die, but for rimless, that seems necessary.
I'll smoke cases tomorrow. I used a universal decapper so some of the S&B rounds I fired should still be in their original dimensions...I'll confirm they chamber well now. I know unfired factory ammo with .318 bullets chambers. The loaded round I'd made had a .318 bullet, but one shaped differently than the factory ammo. Might the shape of the bullet, but these are seated pretty deeply compared to the S&B. Need a good night sleep before I mess with this more.
Thank you for the help Mike & Raimey. Always appreciated.
Chris
