    What is bullet set-back?
    What powder and charge did you use? I am going to guess the same as what we used at my house.
    Yep, identical. Figured I'd keep it simple. :mrgreen:

    Thats the bullet being pushed back into the case when it hits the feedramp.

    One way to check for it is to cycle the same round through the gun a few times, then measure it to see if it got any shorter than it was before you started.

    Loading ammo short will make pressures go up in a hurry. Thats bad.
