Just finished with my 10 cases for the 10.75x65R Collath drilling !
Took the first case and rechecked the trimmed length and then primed them all with CCI200 primers . Next I slightly belled the necks of all them in a raised 444 Marlin expander die . Then I measured out a 16.5 grain charge of Unique and poured it in one case . Well actually before that I set the seating die to crimp on the top of the 405 trimmed case . Then after I put the charge in I seated a Castboolits Group Buy 434-207GC bullet and crimped it . That one was a hair above the crimp groove but it went in the gun okay . Took it outside and fired it into a bank and came back in the loading room !
Took the fire formed case and used a RCBS Universal depriming die and knocked the primer out . Cleaned the pocket and reprimed as well as expanded the neck slightly . Recharged the case with Unique and seated another bullet after adjusting the depth a couple red hairs . Tried the loaded round in the case and it was just a hair snug but thats fine since I hadn't sized the case ANY . Took it back outside and fired it in the bank again no problem , case extracted just like it had before .
So I reloaded the same case for the third time and here's the finished product .
Looks like this thing will get run over the Chrony again wednesday just for kicks . I was getting about 1580 FPS with this load in 444 MArlin brass . So I'll just make sure everything is relatively the same and with 10 loaded rounds I should be able to see how well or bad I shoot at 50 yards with open sights !
