Well seated core.

That'll get your attention. That's  not what I meant by getting a "...good look at the core bleed by".

Just doing like you told me, trying to fill up that die. Hopefully that is the first and last time. Steep learning curve.

Pop!!

I was not happy about that, but this is the school of hard knocks over here Brian. I decided to start from square one with a FB core seating die to go through the process and that right there was handle pull #1.

The good thing is, nothing gets hurt when that happens.

Haha. Now you know the limit… and the max diameter your CS die can produce with the lube amount you chose.

Yep!
Knowing the MAX diameter of the die is critical info
Now you can sneek up on that measurement without over stressing the jacket

Jackie what is your base to point overall length I have bought a 4 die set of Ulrich
30 from Michael Turner that is why I ask I have made 6s a long time the 30 are a different set up. Thanks for the help

Dave, I got tied up with The Tack Driver and never answered your post.

This is my “master bullet” that I try to duplicate every time. (pardon the double photo). The second is a new jacket, the third a core seated jacket, and then the diameters.
I think this bullet is around a 7 3/4 ogive.
