Life could be better

When I set for reloading this year I decided to use a RCBS X die.  Without knowing so I adjusted the die down too far.  So in rapid fire I meet my match.  In sitting rapid fire I had to shoot an alibi.  Not good.  In prone rapid fire I had to shoot to also shoot an alibi but when I did the rifle jamed again.  The problem was that I set the shoulders back when I resized the cases.

The funny part is that it never jamed when I shoot slowfire - only the rapid fire strings, and the first round out of the magazine - went sour.

I reset the die today but I have 300 rounds loaded up badly.  I will use them for pratice or for slowfire only.
