[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 450537, member: 25383"] send the dies back with three or four once fired (but unsized cases). I think you have a bad die. The first thing they'll tell you is the chamber is bad (they always do). I had a buddy that had Mike Pence cut him two barrels (as good a barrel make that's ever been on this planet). One in 6BR and the other in .308 NM. He buys a hundred Norma cases, and promtly screwed up a couple dozen trying to make the die work. I looked them over, and you could see that the neck was cut short in the die (by about .100"!). He takes the die back to Sinclair, and of course they wanted to argue with him, but they did exchange it. He them screws up another six or eight cases, and calls Sinclair (it's a 125 mile drive up there). Sinclair sends him a third sizer, and it's the samething all over exactly. I told him to trade it for a Forster and be done with it. But he drives up there again, and this times takes a cigar box full of bad cases with him. The guy tells him he has the die all setup wrong.
