    As I said, no pressure signs, none, primers are still round on the edges. A tech at sierra once told me that when using fed215 primers, due to the soft cups of them, do not assume its high pressure if a flat fed. 215 is all you see. wait till you see one more sign such as ejector marks, heavy...

    Bullet runout

    prrobably the expander ball causing it, run a case into the sizer, loosen the lock nuts to the decapping rod, back the ram off till the expander ball makes contact, pull down on the ram till it makes firm contact, then tighten the lock nut. see if that helps.

    Making 35 Remington brass

    Fire a shot and miss, it happens, but the next round, loaded with the same die settings won't fire? do you really load your own? 2 weeks ago you struggled fireforming, now you know all things rifles and reloading? Sorry to the board but man!
