Which sizer button are you using in your die set, the one for .308 bullets or the one for .311 bullets, as they usually have both available.

Are you loading to full length, that being 1.173 inches (this always seems long, but that's the way it is). You might want to read my sticky on how to determine proper O.A.L. when trying a new bullet. This could be very helpful.

With either lead or FMJ, I've never experienced set-back with the 7.65 Luger cartridge, so let's isolate and cure the necessary variables.

Thanks!

Hello Mr. Sieger ,
To start with , yes I`m loading dummy rounds as close as I can get to 1.173 inches , and I`m checking those with my mag`s as you have recommended , although I will be sending them (mag`s) to G.T. for a thorough going over soon . The setback I experienced was due to improper die set up I`m thinking because I have loaded up a few more dummy rounds and they cycle through with much less setback .
The expander die measures at .307/8 depending on how I frown . The bullets are .32 cal. at .312/3 again with the frown thing . I`m not real comfortable with the Lee dies I have , and will more than likely pick up a Redding or Hornady set . The Lee dies came with the one expander plug only , I`m hoping that the new dies will have a couple of options in sizer buttons .
