[QUOTE="lkothe, post: 2476922, member: 30900"] Got my shell holder today and a lb of SR 7625 from Jerry's on 51st this morning. Time to start figuring out exactly all the procedures. I've got about half a box of clean brass that'll be my experimental guinea pigs. :) Set up the sizing die as the manual stated. No problem in sizing and removing the primers, went well. I do have two options on priming the brass, the Lee Auto Prime and the manual one on the press. I seated a few old primers with the press, worked fine, slow of course. Haven't messed with the Auto Prime yet. Working on setting the case flare now, some experimenting and found where it would accept the bullet but not very deep. Wish I'd bought a hammer type puller so I can work on seating the bullet and taper crimp for practice. Another item on the list to buy. :) TOn second thought, I think I will make some DUMMY rounds, just to get the COL and taper right, or as right as I think it should be. No problem to remove the bullet at a later date. (going to do this on unprimed brass, keep me from having a squib in my mind) Case flare.......... Ran the die in until it hit the ram at full stroke, backed it up a 1/4 turn. Dialed the flare in a bit at a time till the brass would hold the bullet upright without falling out. Suggestions on other methods? I did work on the seat/taper crimp just a little bit but nothing serious. Feel free to shout out help and advice..........I'm open to criticism, just PM me please so I don't look like to much of an idiot. :) DNO [/QUOTE]
