[QUOTE="Forester, post: 198811, member: 11102"] So after reading the advice here and calling Lee to talk to a tech guy about what was going on I have come to some conclusions. First, as Kraky1 said the die is not that compatible with the sliding shell holders on the Forster press. The die is (was, get to that in a minute) sizing too far down the neck and pushing the shoulder down, sharpening the angle. The end of my experimenting came when the aluminum (why, in a steel die body?) cap on the die literally stripped the threads right out of it. I was not using any great amount of pressure...just a bad cap I guess? I think my next move is going to be to call Lee on Monday and see if they will swap the die out. After messing with this thing all afternoon, I think a Redding or Forster bushing die is starting to look pretty good... Lee's tech guy was not much help...apparently he had never seen a Forster Co-Ax press before? [/QUOTE]
