I am bringing this back from the archives because I had might have some problems with the way I am seating bullets.
Correct me please if I am screwing up....but when I seat my bullets I run the bullet up the die and hold the brass to the back of the shell holder with my finger. I run the brass up half way, spin it, and then run it up the rest of the way while holding the brass to the back of the shell holder. Could this be a potential problem? Is this a big NO NO?
I used to do it this way. For over a decade, but last year found that there is slop in shell holders and actually best to pull out the spring holder out and let the shell holder float like one of the posters said. Awesome tip.
I go further and bounce the bullet in the seater and back out to let the brass center itself. Its made a world of difference.
