[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 2905188, member: 40561"] I think it was a combo of the brass and projectile. I mostly had once fired PPU brass and a few older WRA once fired. The PPU would go through the sizer much easier, barely got a flare and had no neck tension. Someone suggested I put too much flare on it so I sent it back to the resizer and you could easily push the bullet through the case without any flare still. The cast ones would not do that (they both measure correct diameters) so I'm not sure why. All I can figure is the PPU brass is thinner so the ID of the neck is slightly oversized? Also, the Remington projectiles have two cannelures...both of which are below the case neck when seated to proper depth. So I could not get a good crimp on them even if I wanted to and my rifle needs these to have a good crimp. Thats actually the whole reason I got this reloading setup because the PPU ammo was not crimped from the factory and when shooting the recoil would push the projectiles deep into the case while in the mag tube. Gave me an "excuse" to get the reloading stuff as I dont feel like shelling out $2 a shot for better ammo. Here's an interesting link I found while trying to figure out my issue last night. There's a visible "groove" on the jacketed projectile but not enough to grab with a crimp and prevent the projectile from being pushed back into the case. I tried to give it a little more crimp and it just buckled the brass. [URL]http://www.marlinowners.com/forum/45-70-govt/32781-crimping-rem-405-bullets.html[/URL] [ATTACH=full]59739[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
