Suspect headspace problem with FL sizing? Light primer strikes (click - no bang) & residue @ case neck. Light firing pin indent (1 in 15). Rifle is good.
Just purchased a Lee Collet Necksizing die & wonder IF SAFE to load fire-formed cases without bump-sizing back a bit (.002) ? I can't figure out how to necksize while still adjusting headspace.
223 Rem, Savage Axis, .75 groups, 60gr Sierra HP, 24.6 Varget, CCI 450 (mag) primer.
Why light primer strikes?Maybe primer too hard, should change to CCI 400 or BR4?
Having brain fog on this, so will appreciate advice. Thanks
