[QUOTE="PanhandleGlocker, post: 3744214, member: 25311"] Today I reloaded the 10 I pulled the bullets out of yesterday and charged them with 46.2 grains and loosened up my bullet seating depth to have an OAL of 2.815” instead of 2.799”. If anyone has a recommendation for a good micrometer seating die that works in the Frankford Arsenal M-Press let me know. This Lee Die just ain’t working well for me. I first had it at 2.820” and then tightened up my set screw and for some reason my next round was 2.817”, round after that was 2.816”. Ended up tuning it and finally got it set to keep them all at 2.815”. If anyone thinks 2.815” is stupid let me know. I need to actually measure how far off I am from the lands but, and this may sound stupid, but I figure if the round still goes into my PMAG I should be far enough from the lands that I shouldn’t have any safety concerns. I would actually probably have to change to an aluminum mag that’s not so thick and allows more bullet length or single feed them to actually be able to develop a load that gets as close to the lands as I can in my Ruger Precision Rifle. I’ll hope to hear what y’all think. [/QUOTE]
