Brass Bulge: When your brass will not fit in the case gauge what are
your options?
We found a very good article on Uniquetek.com website. You can download
the article
from their website. You will find it on this webpage as Tips File #12: Reloading Bulged Pistol Brass.
or my local copy of their article:Reloading_Bulged_Pistol_Brass-rev2.pdf
One user has the following observation to share:
I have a Lee factory crimp die for my 1050 in both 40 and 38
super , only problem happens is when I try to load lead bullets in
either caliber , the die being .001 smaller and the bullets being sized
.001 larger cause the bullet to stick a bit on the up stroke and the
disturbance causes the powder to spill out of the case that just
received it. If you
always use jacketed bullets it works fine.
