    .005" deep seems right for Alpha Brass and 450s, thats where mine sit. Trying to eliminate any potential mechanical problem within the...

    Seems to me, being .005" below flush is a good place to be. Of course, it depends on how deep you pockets are??? How did the primers...

    How many rounds on this action? Does your action use a trigger hanger? Are you sure the primers are seated deep enough? When's the last...
