Thanks for your responses everyone.
Dave: Thanks
I'm using RCBS equipment.
The flare on the brass measures about .481 - .482. I'm using mixed brass so there is no uniformity.
Should I increase this? How much?
I have avoided FMJ bullets because I figure they cost too much. Though to be honest I haven't found any in the stores. Lead is messy. I don't mind paying a few bucks more for the cleaner lead *kisses* wrapped in copper foil (think 200 gr flat nose bullets here).
btw, I want to emphasize I use only the slightest film of oil, and it doesn't reach the powder.
I'll try a wider flare to see if I can load them smoothly.
