Hello,
I am having two issues reloading the 250 FTX.
First, the manual says COAL is 2.225 but I am measuring the factory Hornady 250 FTX at 2.25.
Lee die manual lists the max COAL as 2.26, which is not for the 250 FTX, but seems closer to what I am actually measuring on factory ammo.
So I am a bit confused here as to the best COAL.
As for the second issue, I am using a lee crimp die turned in 3/4 past touching the case holder.
With about 75% of the bullets made with reloaded Hornady brass I can easily push the bullet in deeper with my thumb.
I adjusted the crimp a bit more but it was to severe and trashed the mouth pretty bad.
Does anyone else have issues getting a firm crimp with this case-bullet-die set up?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
