What kind of crimping die do you use?
What kind of crimp did you set (did you measure the good ones vs the bad ones)

single, lee hand press. crimp on the seating die.

moly reduces pressures and velocities, so generally you would need more powder to get the same velocities as non moly.
and it will make your non moly bullets fire in odd ways if yer barrel is molied up.

yeah, i read about the moly. due to the length of the barrel on my rifle (26 inches) i doubt there will be much of a velocity loss. i read that the loss was about 80ft/sec, anyway. i wasn't loading these for competition, so i doubt the moly will be an issue. my plan was to shoot what i have, clean the barrel, and shoot the non moly. i'll go buy some different bullets this afternoon and try again. that moly crap was painfully messy.

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.

i'll do this.
thanks, gents!
and good luck with that CIS, azzy.... unfortunately, i am no help with that!
