.308 Reloading problems.....

[USMCM16A2]

Folks, new brass only.....

Folks,



After 2 days of trying, I give up only commercial/new/virgin brass ammo works. I have tried small base dies, full length/neck sizing, a new set of dies from Lee I purchased at Angeles. The brass I have is about 900 I bought from calgunners, no reflection on them. It is a mix of commercial and military. I have tried all suggestions, I have reloaded for 12 years and never had this much trouble.
I am going to Angeles to try my loads with the virgin brass, I also have some LC 66 Match I will try. Thanks for all who put their .02 in. I am going to order 500 Lapua and move on, TIA A2

Sorry things didn't work out on getting the cases to work. The good news is you will enjoy the new Lapua's. That (and some new Hornaday match) is all I shoot now, life is too short to load "once fired".
