550? Mine does that as well. I just wound up having to buy all new parts on the primer arm.

Boy those are some OLD (brittle) cases. I say simple
metal fatigue that found a small consistent weak spot without doing further observation/investigation.

I know nothing about the
8mm Mauser, but I can tell when shooting old rifles, I always clean the bore with JB Bore Paste before shooting groups. Try it and let us know how it works out. Good luck.

Haggle him down a bit... You can also call
Hornady and ask them what upgrades are available for that press. the die sets are about 20$ each lee scale is 15$ or so no idea on the powder trickler is the rcbs bullet puller a collet type or impact type? I think both would be about 15$ used. so figure you have a little bit over 100$ in accessories. Is that press worth 300$? I'd probably say no ...

I bought
one 2 years ago and it works great! Hmmmm, maybe I'll pick up one for a KARMA.

For IDPA, I use Titegroup and Clays - because the guys I shoot with had load data already worked up and it just let me copy the loads. I think I have load data somewhere for titegroup with a 147gr
FMJ bullet. I have not loaded 147 gr jacketed bullets but have loaded a lot of 147gr plated bullets. Let me know if you want me to look for the load data.

I use a Lee FCD for .45ACP. All I can say is that it works to my satisfaction. I don't know whether it works better or not compared to other taper
crimp dies.

No, you'll be fine. I reloaded for many years in my basement.

I went ahead and sprung for the Hornady cam-lock
puller.

Hmm, Been awhile since I loaded WW748 in .223, but I don't recall having the problems you had shooting 55 gr
FMJ's from an IMI Galil ARM w/18" barrel. Charge was 27.5 grains, and measured velocity was 3012 fps. The 25 grain load may be a bit light for this relatively slow propellant in .223, and I always used CCI 450 mag primers when using WW748. Single base propellants will tend to burn ...
