When I thought it was.. lol

Time to get the reamer out. And cut a new chamber. What will you name it?

 

[Burt Gummer]

You had to have pulled the hell outta that.

I ain’t sure whitchen section of the four is the worstest.

I think everyone here has done that. I hadn't reloaded for rifle in ten or twelve years and the first time I set up rifle dies - Oops.

On the off chance you haven't already figured it out, your dies are trying to taper crimp while the bullet is still seating deeper. At some point the crimp is so tight, the neck rides down with the bullet as it seats deeper.

That'll buff right out. Fire form that sucker!

It’s the 223 Kracken

 

[jmccracken1214]

I bet the rim on it is wide enough to chamber in my 6.5 now lol

You get one of those new style revolver rifles? I’ve heard they are hot sellers in states with mag restrictions.

 

[jmccracken1214]

She’s fixed now. Idk why I had that thing so far down.

It’s been 2-3 years since I loaded for 223.

you sure it wasn't a plugged vent hole? I've done that when the lee paste lube clogged the vent before. But yeah, some force was involved.
