first 5 rounds done, THANKS TO ALL

Thanks to everyone that helped. I know its only 5 rounds, but im finally starting to get the process down pretty well. They all fit in the chamber and cycle from the magazine flawlessly. Let me know if you see anything wrong just by the pics, but I took my time, and had fun. So here are the first 5

Congratulations..!!!!
You're hooked. Welcome to a lifetime of acquiring "doo-dads" and tweaking the loads. There sure are worse ways to spend one's time.
You do know of course, bullet casting is just right around the corner for you...??!!
Cheers,

Are you crimping the case mouth into the bullet cannelure? It looks like most of the cannelure is exposed. If so, you might want to seat the bullet just a tad deeper so the case mouth lines up with the middle or slightly above the middle of the cannelure.

Hey P.T., Congratulations.

What type and amount of Powder to you have in them?

I grew up dragging Deer that became Venison needing processing because of the 35Rem. Just an outstanding Cartridge when used properly.

And those RNs make me visualize some woods and swamp Stands that I've enjoyed over the years.

All of the cases have the dreaded red stripe on them. That means that you weren't holding your mouth right when the framistat was detickling the primer shoulders.

haha. You should see the weird red stripes on the next 5. Almost look like a two.

As for depth, those are around (about .01 larger than) the min-OAL for these loads. And i am crimping with the Lee Factory Crimp Die, so its not too much of a worry. I intend to seat the next 5 just slightly lower.

the powder is H4895 w/ sierra 200gr RN bullets.
