Thread: Problem seating bullet

I have just started loading some 30-06 rounds and havent had this problem with 9, 38/357, or .223 I load. After I full length sized the brass, charged with powder... I ran into a problem seating the bullets. When I do this step on maybe 2 out of 5 bullets get some shaved off by the case mouth. Since Ive resized them and havent crimped yet I am a little confused. I am using the LEE die set... so factory crimp would be the step after bullet seating. What would be causing this and will it be alright to fire those bullets (would that effect the accuracy)? I did a search but to no luck. Thanks

Hmmmm...........this a new set of dies? I wonder if it has the wrong neck expander in it?

Its not shaving very much off... you think its fine to shoot? will that affect the accuracy much?

did you bevel the case mouth???
the tool that deburs the inside and outside edge of the case mouth.If you didn't try and see if you still have the problem

Good call jeclif. I didn't even think of that.
