What can I do with this round?

[John from MD]

Thank you for the tip, some how 1st try I got 2.23 with the seating die so a quarter turn and it was set.

Each headstamp or even lot number can be different length, especially new, out of the bag brass. I (being a reloading instructor for some years) stressed segregating brass by lot or by headstamp at least. When I was competing, I would buy brass in 1000 round lots and still had to tweek them to get them all the same size.

I'm not like that, I have once fired AAC and Winchester, purchased reloads of PMC, Winchster, LC and IMI brass that's beem fired God knows how many times all in one pretzel container I just want to pay less per round I'm not here trying to hit 500 yard shots when the furthest shot on my stand will be 250 if the deers lucky.

My point is, the brass dimensions may be different. What happens when sizing is that the brass is squeezed in all directions and each manf. may be different including neck thickness and neck length which you need to be concerned with for any kind of reloading.

If you run a primed case into a sizing die, it will eject the primer without detonating it and you can reuse it.

This. Just don’t do it super fast and you are fine. I’ve never had an issue reusing a primer out of dozens and dozens.

The Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die features a carbide sizer, which post-sizes your rifle cartridges while crimping this guarantees that every round will chamber freely, just as it would straight out of the factory. This crimp die accommodates a wide range of ammo even jacketed bullets.

To use the Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die, all you need to do is adjust the screw to set the desired amount of crimp. This factory crimper is powerful enough to crimp even those bullets that do not have a cannelure.

I don’t believe that applies to their bottle neck rifle crimp dies.

After you pull the bullet, check it to be sure it is not different from the others.

It's 100% fine
