What weight of bullet are you shooting in your 22-250?

Gotta blame something……

What sort of dies are you using and is this your first time reloading for this calibre? Measure your case make sure it’s not over coal and try seating a primer. I usually use lapua brass which are pretty good out of the box but I had to get some Norma brass for a .270 and had to do a lot of...
