  • Copper on brass

    I am reloading .40 with 180gr berry's plated bullets. Some of them are getting copper pushed down on the brass. What do you do? Send it, clean it some how, or write it off. Thanks for help with my rookie question.

      Pics would help. Perhaps bell the case opening up a bit more so the jacket doesn't get shaved when pressing the bullet in?

      I have to bend over too far

      I get a boner.

      bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

          You need to adjust your dies so that you open the case mouth up (flare) more.......

            ^^^^ This for sure. I'd be scrapping those rounds and reclaiming the powder.

              I’m not a reloaded but I can tell you that you definitely don’t want to use those rounds. The best thing that’ll happen if you tried using those would be a failure to feed/jam. It would on get worse from there.

                Adjusted die and had better luck with next 25 rounds. Tried chambering just for Peshittas at range with the affected rounds, no go. Put them off them in a ammo can until I get a bullet puller. Thanks
