the moly was annoying. i didn't notice that they were moly bullets until i opened them. really messy.
there was another major hiccup, but i'll just shoot all those primed cases and re-prime them. nothing dangerous.  |
Most dies have a case crimp feature. Its not enough of a crimp for an autoloader but a roll crimp for a bolt action. Sounds to me like the bullet is set to depth beffore the crimp is coming in contact with the case. You can probably back out the seating rod and check the case to die contact. If you can pull the bullets out with your fingers I would do so and either attempt to re-seat them or pop the primers but do not leave the bullets in and shoot them.
