If you know what you’re doing it’s not that difficult to load for.

Thanks for chiming in, 458Exp. I also believe that if you take care and do what you should do, it must be possible. I load .25 ACP and that is quite tricky, but 100% doable. I would expect the same for this caliber.

What are your comments on the coating on the factory ammunition casings and the effect of resizing on the feeding/extraction? Did you encounter any problems with it? I have read through a few international forum threads on this topic, and the guy in this article mentions that he experienced issues with the Redding dies. Did you encounter similar issues?

I think it will be very informative if we could debunk some of the myths around reloading for this caliber, and just to get some feedback from persons who have actually reloaded for it (thanks Hobbes for already sharing your experience).

Wash cases with Luke warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

Do not use any tumbler as it removes the coating. And yes you need that coating.

I used normal Lee dies with Imperial Sizing wax and it did not damage the coating.

Also keep an eye on case length cause the case stretches a lot. Would not load a case more that 3 times.

Those rounds look very neat! Would you mind sharing some info on the loads (bullet and propellant type), just for informational purposes?
