[QUOTE="Michigan Chris, post: 617779, member: 38578"] Update, I called Redding and Forster as i am using a COAX press. The rep. from Forster advised that I could "over-cam" a bit, so I did. The result was very different as the Brass started to fit very well and the Bolt was closing with just a tad more resistance than un fired brass. Thus, I was able to back off the "over-cam" and and still getting great results with slightly more Bolt pressure. Another "new guy"error I believe I made was not applying enough case lube to the brass? The rep. from Forster asked what type of lube I was using, which is RCBS Case Lube-2. I started applying 2 to 3 times the amount and the Brass suddenly started sizing with one pull? Please recommend a high quality case lube if possible/and or if the RCBS stuff is "less than desirable?" Take note both Reps. from Redding and Forster were more than helpful and treated my incident with the greatest care and professionalism. Thanks for all your help Boys, my best. Chris. [/QUOTE]
