Made my fist attempt at reloading today. Short 10 with 4 1/4 drams FFG Goex and 1 1/4 oz of 7.5. I had some observations that I would like an opinion on.
The over powder nitro card wad (.125") was rather tight going in. I could push it in with my wad pusher but had to apply more force than with the cushion wad or top card. Is this normal?
My other question is how much roll crimp is acceptable. Measuring the space before roll crimp I had around .330 to .370" inches depending on the shell. Is this to much space to roll crimp?
In comparing my finished shells OAL to some factory remington loads they were about .100" shorter.
