from research i found the internal neck dia for 7.62x25 tokerev is. the issue was the bullet which i have only found in plenty and inexpensive(30carb) in. its reloading FIRED cases that sized neck dia comes into play.
necks are sized to a US dia of 7.62(.30cal). reloading into NEW Starline cases has no issues. it turns out there was nothing wrong with them. This is my second set, the first was sent back, by mistake. So what might I be doing wrong here and how the heck do I get proper neck tension? I've never run in to this issue with any rifle cartridges I've loaded before. Though that doesn't solve the issue that the Hornady 83 gr bullets will just fall in to the case basically once they reach the crimp groove (which means I am seating at ~1.250" rather than the 1.350" that I want to be seating at). I ordered a 7.62x25 Lee FCD, because why not throw more money at the problem? I'd think that should solve case neck tension for at least holding the bullet in place once it is seated. Is there any way here for me to adjust case neck tension so I can actually seat these? What beats me is how the heck to actually get the neck tension correct with the bullet? Do I need MORE expansion? I can't imagine less, as I've tried seating a bullet without expanding the case mouth at all and same issue.
I am GUESSING what is going on is the case neck tension is all at the very mouth of the house, not through the entire neck. If the bullet is seated a hair further, the bullet falls in to the case. If the bullet seats down sufficiently to reach the crimp groove, the bullet falls until it hits the other side of the crimp groove. If I put enough taper crimp on it to actually hold the bullet in place moderately, I am bulging the case neck badly.įor the Hornady bullets this is compounded because they have a crimp grove. No matter how little or how much I am expanding the case neck, I seat a bullet and then no matter a taper crimp or no crimp I can push the bullet right in to the case. Yes I've tried the resizing die at various positions and just can't get it perfect, but it is close enough I don't have any real concerns (it isn't tight enough that it should effect chambering or extracting). New PPU brass drops in and falls out (not resized at all though) as do S&B and PPU commercial loads. Once fired PPU brass once resized will drop in the chamber, but it takes a bit of a tap to get it seated fully and need a finger nail to pull it back out. The cases aren't quite resizing correctly, though they are "good enough". I have Lee Pacesetter dies and I cannot get it to work. So I am trying to reload Tokarev for the first time.
