    Photos are not great but there doesn't appear to be pressure sighs. A check of the primer pocket for excess expansion will tell you more in that area. Most likely as other have said, a faulty...

    The brand and the name of the line are a bit of a give away...... I presume this is coming from Shooting Stuff? I buy all my RF ammo off them. I see they are also selling mixed lots of 5000 Eley...

    And how do you determine 25-30 lbs of force? Got a gauge (make that a gage) on the press handle, torque wrench in place of the handle? I just went ahead and ignored their instruction to not cam...

    I'd dispute the 95%. A lot of competition shooters use and swear by Lee Collet dies. (Lee used to even publish the collet die as at one stage holding a 1000 yd record.) They don't want the step in...

    I have one. I wouldn't have specifically bought it locally but I threw it into an order from Titan in the States just to pad the order out a bit. It works OK in fact very well. Flimsy and plasticy...

    Last 2 boxes of Lapua I bought also had one extra. (Is soneone else receiving 99?) Great if you have an AMP annealer and need to sacrifice a case to determine the Aztec setting.
