    You will get everything you need at Bunnings. Drill, tap bolt, washers. Brass is soft so a shifter is ok to work the tap. Put the bolt through the washers and a socket to pull the case.

    I normally use the "pre ai" factory cartridge load with a cup and core at paper, but you will find guys using small amounts of shotgun powder with wads of various material, cream of wheat etc.

    Wood Leigh make a 215 grain pill in .312 cal just for your purpose. That, some 2209 and a chrono should have you there. Ok just had the image from Wright’s book open. It’s all there.

    Primers have a nice radius shoulder. I'd suggest not a pressure issue or they would be square to "chef's hat" shaped. Looks like a larger firing pin hole and possibly a soft primer. If you are...
