I think you need to check your bullit diameter.

Cheers for the replies, guys.

When I first started I made sure I met up with a mate who had been reloading for years, and years. He helped me set up everything and ran me through the process. So I think I technique is ok - but you're probably right - it might be the bullets.

Think I'll get me some other brand then S&B

Hi Tower - Do you clean the inside of the necks before or after you de-cap them?...I do mine quite vigorously, and found that doing it after de-capping (so also sizing) gave me a 'slacker' neck tension - It's obvious really, but when I first started .303 this year I loaded several batches before I realised the error.. :roll: :)

Hi. No. I don't crimp.

Clean... them? :? :lol:

I clean them all up before I do any resizing or deprimming. I've asked for new bullets for Christmas, so I'll try them :good:
