Got back to it yesterday and confirmed that the seating die, while screwed out, wasn’t out by a full turn. Obviously must have been distracted by something and didn’t complete that stage of the operation. I’ll sideline the first lot and start again. Another lesson learnt.
Upside is that, while it hasn’t exactly been plain sailing, I’ve learnt a great deal more than if everything had been a breeze. Onwards and upwards as they say.
Side note: As most of the affected rounds won’t chamber, I’ll have to dismantle so a bullet puller of some type is in my future sooner than I expected. I’m sure there’ll be suggestions.
