Good day
I hope someone here reloads the 375JDJ and can help me.
I just bought this barrel used a little over a year ago and am having difficulty
making my brass last. I'm only getting about three loadings from my brass and
then I start getting head separations. My loads are accurate, the shells insert
easily and they extract easily also. The only problem is they start breaking off
about a quarter of an inch from the rim after about three loadings.
I should get more loadings than that shouldn't I??????????
Thanks
Mike

PS I'll be posting this on the single shot sites also

Sounds like a simple headspace problem. You probably have your died adjusted wrong.

Back off your size die... form new cases, adjusting the die down a just a bit at a time until the frame with close and lockup.
