Bullet seating past crimping groove?
I am new at reloading and I am having trouble seating the bullet. Im loading a .270 with a COAL of 3.24" All of my brass is chambered to my rifle and I use a collet neck sizing die on all of them. When I try to seat the bullet to the match the COAL it drops past the crimping groove and drop down into the case. This only seems to happen to some of my rounds. Am I just seating the bullet to much or should I crimp the bullet?
There are some tips to get past this problem. Maybe your cases are stretched from previous firings. Make sure they are trimmed to the correct length before loading. Another issue is whether you need to stay at the textbook OAL. Take a bullet and put it in a case without powder. Do not seat the bullet but just get it started. Chamber it and push the bullet in with the rifling. the bullet should stay in the case. Check the OAL them, and set your rounds just short of that length. You will get better accuracy with the bullets set to maximum chamber length so that they have little jump to engage the rifling. This also will reduce chamber pressure on your rounds. I also load 270 and this has been my system for many years. I actually made the dummy rounds for each bullet wieght, and kept them for future use.
