@@pcbulletempire9872 Hopefully so....We gotta get out their first though....LOL...He has some T&E to do too....We should have a good time....thanks for mentioning....Good stuff....
Thank-you Tim! Thanks for sharing this. Yeah i think that crimp is keeping the case mouth tight and that flaring die needs to be ground down. I ended up buying a NOE expander plug instead
Run your brass case in the resizing die just a little bit to tighten the neck up and rejust the expander die if it is to much back it out and start over.
Another great video P.C. Know when it comes to a jacketed bullet I only flare just the top of my cases I only flare my cases like your doing on lead bullets am I doing it wrong ho know but that works for me heck some time I even forget to flare a case for a jacketed bullet I’m sure I’m working my brass harder then I need to but that’s my way and I’m sticking to it Mr. P.C. 😃😃😃
I don't have a 350 but a friend of mine does. He uses his 9mm dies to reload. Not sure what he does bit he has said that the brass grows and he has to trim it every time he loads it.
Absolutely. The expanding die should be set just low enough to accept the heel of the bullet and keep it straight on the ride from the "ram fully down" position to the point where the seating die meets resistance and begins seating the bullet. A good inside champher on the case mouth helps prevent crumpled cases.
I've found that with most of my straight case lee dies. I tighten them down until they touch the case and maybe a hair more. With a boat tail probably isn't even needed.
Looks like you may be expanding way too much. Back it off some. I expand mine out with the lee expander to get powder coated cast bullets to start and it works great with good neck tension with both cast and jacketed bullets.
I see your powder coated cast bullet did not have a gas check. Are the working ok for you? No leading ? I ask because I am just starting out on my reloading adventure for the 350 legend (Just got my upper this weekend) and I have a 147 grain mould that drops a nice 147 grain bullet with a longer nose than normal but its not a gas check mould (I use if for subsonic 9mm). Thanks for your videos and please keep them coming!
@@pcbulletempire9872 Bear Creak 16" ( they had a much better sale a day after I purchased it haha) I Like it. SO far only factory through it but ran perfect
@@pcbulletempire9872 Thanks for the reply! Note here: I'm not loading 350 legend at this Time. Been reloading since the mid 70's I just retired and in the market for a new Pew-Pew delivery device Been looking at the Henry Model 1871, I have two now chambered in .223/5.56 & 357 Mag. Are you sure about that. .355 diameter. Or does the Legend come in 357 diameter also? That would strange to make it in two sizes? Winchester loads these rounds with .357? diameter bullet. The ballistics of the Winchester Super-X load: Bullet Diameter: .357 inches (All 350 Legend) Shell Case Length: 1.71 inches (All 350 Legend) Bullet Size: 180 grain Muzzle Velocity: 2,100 fps Muzzle Energy: 1,762 foot-pounds Velocity (200 yards): 1,466 fps Energy (200 yards): 859 foot-pounds
@Ryben Flynn the reason I did that was to show "Eagle eye shooting " the drag of the bullet to case when fired. He want to know if there was any drag because of case thickness, or chamber tightness.
1. I’m with UJ 💩 🗑 the winchester brass. 2. I wouldn’t expand at all if I was loading jacketed, especially with that boat tail. I only expand for cast which is oversized. 3. 586...586...586...subliminal messaging still in progress 😉
PC BULLET EMPIRE I’ve never owned or shot either...handled a 586 at my FFL’s and it was a work of art 😀. Several guys at my range have a GP100 and rave about them. It’s a tank and it’s not a wrong choice...i just love the wood handle and blue steel look of the 586 👍.
