[QUOTE="Erick, post: 1748103, member: 11535"] Well, I started loading a few subsonics this evening in anticipation of my 762 can. All did not go as well as expected. Thankfully with hours of help from angsniper, I was able to get out a few for the Saturday test. Thanks for all of your help sir! My first problem was some inconsistency of my digital scale. Then, when seating the bullet, my first was pushed way deep because I didn't adjust for the round nose. Then, it felt like it was catching and it pulled some bullets out on the way down. I could actually press the bullet back in by hand. most didn't have this problem. I use a neck sizer and I trim each case before use. I think I will start using the full length from now on except for maybe a few hunting rounds. The other big problem I had was my Hornady caliper was measuring everything .004 short. Bullets were measuring .304. all of them even my Amax. Not too sure what to do now, but my rifle chambered the new rounds fine. I think I'll try em out and post the results. [/QUOTE]
