sorry I posted in wrong section, I am kinda new here. I trimmed cases to 2.01, I used 38.4 gr h4895, 180 gr nosler partition spritzer bullet! the manual says oal should be2.81 ! mine came out oal from2.54 -2.70? I was puzzled, now I have been hearing about dies gunking up? I have been reading abc's of reloading and have modern reloading second edition by lee! but nowhere in them can I find how to clean dies? I just found out sizing die should be cleaned after every use? I cleaned the bullets after sizing, could thin residue build up in bullet seating dies? can anyone tell me where to find out how to clean inside dies? someone told me the bullets that are 2.70 should be ok to shoot but wont be as accurate, said shoot bowling pins lol, but shorter ones need to come apart? but also someone said don't shoot any? im unsure I big difference between suggested 2.81 and actual 2.70? only made 30 thank god, wanted these perfect for hunting! when I find out how to clean dies I will clean them all
