How to be a fucking spaz

I've been hesitant to show this for embarassment but then I thought - if you can't laugh at yourself what can you do.

This incident is now probably 4 or 5 months old but anyway...I've done lots of reloading in my time and use no factory stuff for any of our guns (except shottys) but have never used brand new brass.

Anyway here is how to be a spaz:
1. Get brass
2. Work out your powder load - I generally use 1gn less than a hot load
3. get your projectile
4. combine them all together
5. Do this.....

The moral of the story is trim new brass and avoid doing this for the first 4 cases then standing around scratching your arse like a monkey trying to figure out how to best fuck a door knob.

Happy hunting

p.s. that was by far the least worse out of the 4

Also check your seating die isn't set up too low!

Would make a good chimney for a leprachaun's house.

Novelty keyrings?

turtle neck for a jaffa :P

Yeh I thought that might have been the case but as soon as I trimmed them they slid in and seated perfectly.

When I read the title, I thought - Well here's something I can achieve, at last a goal thats in reach...but you've set the bar pretty high on this one;)

Just kidding, we've all done this, just lift your seating die by a few turns and try again.

Yep, been there, done that.

308 brass into 7mm08 collet die does that too.

Yeah, seating die too deep does that, as does too tight neck tension and die too shallow (so I found out!)
