Getting ready to load some 10mm

[Bowhntr6pt]

Trying to seat it level with the case. Like the other factory rds. It was above the base of the shell. Sticking up/out. Got it level now. Flush with case.

Forget trying to adjust primer seating depth... seat them until they bottom out in the primer pocket.

Otherwise you will have a FTF eventually.

Some .45 ACP brass leaves primers slightly above the case... really a non issue.

This press has the whole operation hidden from view. Auto feeder. I'll readjust so it's inset, near as I can tell, fully seated. Thanks for the info. J

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Oops, took a closer look at the cases. Two look like this. Spot where the pin hit pushed out.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

The above may be the result of a little too much crimp with the carbide crimper. 4th die. Or inattention to the seating depth. Had an issue I just straightened out to make all rounds the same lenght.

*** also had saved previously fired brass. It had small pistol primers, the starline uses large ones.

I do not think that those bullets are GD's. The jacket looks too thin.
Plated bullets. ---- SAWMAN

Speer gold dot bullets are plated.

Speer does this using an electro-chemical process.

This is why it is one of the best bonded bullets available on the market.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Uh oh... I upped the charge to 13.4... I think I just made compressed charges due to my oal changed with out doing any adjustments. Now right at 1.260. The max lenght. All stop. Advice needed. @SAWMAN @Daezee @Bowhntr6pt

Yeah, I wish I knew what brand of bullets I have. 200gr and 180gr. Pix above.

200gr look exactly like gold dots.

You sure you're not gonna blow yourself up!! LOL!!!

Thanks. Hopefully not!! The 200s have a domed base.

 

[BowChamp]

The 10mm 200gr gold dot has a domed base as well.

Hate to say this James. And I post this with all due respect.
From your writeing I have concluded that you do not know enough about reloading for you to stay safe and/or not damage your equipment or weapons.
I highly reccomend you STOP RELOADING until you get the proper training and advice.
Most of this seems to me to be your fault. Your attitude is - -> "I just happen to have this so I think I will just throw it together and see if it works".
You need much more info and you do not seem to care if you accquire it,or even know where to get it.
I post this on open forum not as a priority to slam you. But others have asked myself and other reloaders that I know some questions that make us feel that some members are not doing their homework.
Possibly some of these members should let go of the press handle and first self train,until they gain enough knowledge to be able to ask the right questions ...... AND SOMEWHAT UNDERSTAND THE ANSWERS.
AGAIN ... this is sound advice with a safety element attached.
NOT SIMPLY A SLAM ON JAMES.
Suggest you guys buy your ammo until you can acquire the proper techniques,equipment,and attltude,to load ammo safely.
I really do not mind helping a new reloader. But the new reloader MUST demonstrate to me that he has a BASIC KNOWLEDGE of the overall subject,and of the chambering that he wants to start with.
I would not advise to - -> #1. Start with a high pressure cartridge. #2. Start with a cartridge that headspaces on the case mouth. #3. Start with a cartridge that will be used in a semi auto.
The 10mm Auto is a prime example.
Please stay safe. ---- SAWMAN

Thank you for your candor. I appreciate the honesty. I do not want to make a mistake and blow the weapon up or injure myself "fooling around". I will pull the compressed rounds and switch back to the 12.5gr load ( under max, 13.2) keeping a close eye on oal and crimp. I will follow the hornady/lee loading instructions to the letter. Again, thank you for looking out for me and other new reloaders.

James....did you by chance get those 200 grainers from me? If so, they are RMR 200 gr Bonded Hollow Point bullets.

Yep, I did. Thank you for jogging my memory. Need more!! Shoot and load great. We'll see how they do on game.
