Today my Grandson came for further indoctrinating into reloading.
It was highly successful but with other failures with those full blown fluster clucks unappalled.
We tried Lyman Turb top dies to see three sets interspersed with the RCBS dies.

First my Lyman 2 die set peeled back the brass neck on a 25-06 cartridge. NEVER before.
Second the other die crushed back the shoulder and wrinkled the shoulder, neck case.
Third the die sets were combined Lyman, and RCBS in three calibers -,.25-06, 30-06 and .338 Winchester Magnum. These are two, three and four die sets combined.
Have you seen this debacle?

This would be better if it were in the reloading forum under "big game rifles."

Maybe you two can work thru how to adjust a die together..Tricky buggers they are.

Step 1: read the instructions that come with the dies.
If you can't get it after that, buy factory ammo and call it good. You're too dense to be assembling miniature explosive devices.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Have you seen this debacle?
An input from similar experience ?>? No, nothing like it. If I had a similar experience, I'd sell my reloading equipment and take up crocheting. No, wait, crocheting involves sharp implements.....

This ^^. Also, my experience leads me to believe those "cheap" Lee dies = Mo betta.  AND Mr Lee wrote a very nice reloading manual explaining a whole bunch of stuff. If not mistaken, there's a boatload of other books and for those who no longer like to read....... youtube. Sheeesh. Geno

did something similar the very first time i reloaded....took me bout a minute or two to find my [bleep] up because of the nice instructions that came with the dies.....if your totally lost i would suggest just stopping cause what you have going on is a more or less a controled explosion going off inches from your face and phug ups have lead to deaths.....have book around here on handloading that dedicated several pages of pictures to why its a very bad idea to phug up.....
