The rifle die set is for a pump rifle my dad had and is seldom used. So this is first time using the die since purchasing a few years ago. I have set up many Redding dies before.

So I set the full length die so that it is just touching the shell holder. However, when I resize the case, the neck is not resizing and not touching the neck expander on the up stroke. I can take a bullet and freely run it in and out of the resized casing.

Do I have an improperly sized die or am I missing something? Questioning if I'm loosing my mind.


What make of brass are you using?

What is the OD of the expander ball?

What is the OD of the neck of the brass after sizing?
