been too long - tommag - 02-21-2026
It's been so long that I actually had to read the instructions! I had a couple hundred blackout brass sized, trimmed, and primed sitting in a ziplock. After charging a few, I was about to seat the bullets and wasn't sure how to set the die up for no crimp.
I'm surprised I even remembered that the pointy end of the bullet didn't go into the case!

Wait… the pointy end goes WHERE?!! I thought that was to help it fit into the brass! You mean I should have put them
up?!!

Be glad you weren't loading wadcutters. No pointy end to guide you. However, wadcutters work just about as well either way.
