I purchased a new set of Lee Precision dies. I adjusted the FL resizing die according to instructions e.g Raise the press ram with the shell holder until it hits the bottom of the FL resizing die. Lower the ram slightly and turn the die clockwise another ¼ turn. Then lock it in with the ring.
My problem is when I went to the range eight out of 12 rounds had light primer strikes and did not fire.
Is it possible I set the shoulder back creating enough headspace that the cartridge moves forward thus receiving a weak strike.
Could I remedy this by not adjusting my FL die the full ¼ turn?
When I got home I pulled the bullets and powder primed and resized the case with only a 1/8 turn, chambered the round with no powder or bullet and the primer fired and showed a much deeper primer indentation.
Am I ok to test this fix with live ammo.?
