Not something that bodes well for accuracy, unless of course you have one of those Hornady case straighteners.....
Seriously, just get the dies made, your gun and case life will both reward you in the end.
I was being sarcastic, I think the gun has a fairly tight chamber, the hornady die screwed all the way down and in a quarter turn wouldnt even bump the shoulder back. Had to go by some RCBS dies and then it was all good, and yes all brass was fired in same gun
Even though I mis-took what you were saying, Im sure someone with less experience may have thought that to be a proper solution. Just trying to nip that one in the butt.
