I'll check on the Redding shell holders and go from there.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.


If the ram is just kissing the bottom of the die you are not FL sizing, and probably not pushing the shoulders of the brass back enough.

Run the ram all the to the top, screw the die down until it's touching the shell holder, lower the ram, and turn the die down another 1/8 of a turn. Now run the ram up and push the handle of the press ALL the way down, and you will feel the handle "snap" over. That's called "cam over".

Now try it with lubed brass, wipe the lube off, and see if the brass chambers easily in your rifle. If not, turn the die down another 1/8 of a turn and repeat the process.


Yep that's the answer I'd choose. 1/8-1/4
