Howdy all,
I received an old saginaw m1 carbine from my grandfather. I've bought an old die set from a gun show years ago. It looks to have been (well) made in the 70's though I can't find a name on the dies.
Anyway, I've been having issues with the Hornady 110gr rn's and some the Speer 110gr plinkers crimping in the casing. On some you can pull the bullet itself out by hand with little effort. I've tried this on new brass and some re-used with the same results. I'm thinking I should bite the bullet (pun intended) and just get new, carbide die set.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Bil
