Fiocchi Issues

rhuff · 06-27-2015, 02:55 PM

I chucked my RCBS sizing die up in a lathe and did a bit of "tuning" on the base so it would set the shoulder back just a bit more. My reloads now measure 0.670 in. and I am fine with that. My reloads function well in all of my 30 Luger barrels.

Fired brass from my 06 measured 0.664 at the datum line on the shoulder; unfired brass from Fiocchi, 0.640/650. I set my resizing die to 0.660 and it seems to work. Thanks for the interesting exchange and the diagrams!
