I don’t think lee makes one for the .505, CH Tool and die may, I will try new chamfer then go from there.

Yes the bullet fit in case mouth, it’s offset when just expanded seems as expander may be entering case mouth off centre, ordered a new chamfer-deburr tool on order hoping that solves the problem.

The neck expander seems to be causing the issue by expanding one side of the neck more than the other, I ordered a new chamfer tool may be a burr forcing the expander off to one side.

Upon further investigation it seems like the expander plug is expanding it slightly offset, might try belling it out with chamfer tool before expanding.

The cases were expanded using the step expanding plug, I may change my seat plug to the more rounded one and see if that makes a difference, I guess I could always pull the worst ones.

They crimp had no effect on the bullets they were “off” before, I could pull them but had a pain of a time getting them as good as I did.

Look up .458 Imperial Mag In Cartridges of the world. That’s pretty much what you have there.

Ya After lots of reading the .505 seemed like a good choice, my gunsmith will have his work cut out for him to get it to feed, I need 100% reliability. Not gonna be a fancy gun but it should get the job done!

Oh how I wish we had Trump, we are stuck with Trudeau………. You have no idea how bad it is.

My standard hunting loads will be within factory range, wouldn’t mind ramping a few up just for the recoil experience After all my research the .505 was the biggest I could get. And so happens I bought a whole reloading set for $900 2 bags of Norma brass, 11 boxes of bullets (1 Box Swift A...
