I have been trying to shoot 165 gr Barnes triple-shock boat-tails in my .308 win. If I seat the bullets out to 0.050 off of the lands, some of the grooves ar sticking out. Barnes says that is no problem but I have a problem with my seating die pulling the bullet out a little when coming out of the die because the load I am shooting is compressed (43gr. IMR 4064)and the bullet sticks in the seating plug a little. Other bullets don't do this and the TS's don't either if I seat them deeper where I don't end in the grooves on the bullet shank. Anyone got any advise other than switching bullets? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender.

Some options: Polish the expander ball down a thou or two to increase neck tension Add a crimp Change powder HTH, Dutch. Life's too short to hunt with an ugly dog. | |||

Anyone else have trouble with the rings on TS & MRX bullets when seating them out longer? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.
