Thread: Full length sizing and head space

Also can a primer that hasnt been fired be reused after it has been pushed out with a resizing die ? would be great if I could as they are expensive these days.

You can also take the decapping pin off most dies so you could leave the primer in the case if you're going to resize the case again.

What I would do/what I have done.

Also, if you're going to try and chamber and shoot tight rounds make sure your locking lugs are lubed. Can end up galling them otherwise.

Sorry can u explain what u mean by locking lugs ? Are you referring to the rifle or the dies ? Thanks

Dont worry, watched a youtube video, very straight forward, ill do this for sure when im running the ammo thought to check if it chambers well, thanks
