I typically lose about 15% of my 3x brass to splits at the shoulder. After 4x, the primer pockets start to become enlarged. I put 5x in the container marked "Zombie," just in case I need them in a pinch. You also start to get a bending of the "rimless" rim from the decapping and sizing process pushi...

Re: New to Five Seven reloading, where to find dies?

There are several people who have reported satisfactory results using the RCBS dies.

That is all caused...

Removing the crimp or primer stakes removes material that actually helps to securely hold the primer.

+1 on what everyone else said. The only thing I'll add is that it will cost you less to reload per round and more overall because you'll shoot a lot more.

Re: not having good luck with my shellholder

Also, try decapping them first with a universal decapping die. I think a .223 die will work if you don't have a decap only die. This should help reduce the downward force on the brass slightly. The recommendation to polish the mouth and inner die body should not be ignored. It will reduce friction a...
