[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 524543, member: 20409"] like said before the die really works great if you will give your self time to learn it.in my rock chucker press I have put an index mark on two moveing parts of the press to help me out, ( with the same pressure each time )even takeing the die apart and cleaning the rouch edges and polishing it then a little grease it will then work better for you. like one said before I think Jinx said it put marks on Lapua brass.I too have had this to happen.but after opening up the collets of the die ( by springing the fingers out a little ) it has yet happened again. I have had 15 years wth these dies and found out all kinds of tricks to do to them.the two best are the ones I just told.other than polishing a little off the mandrel to get a tighter neck.and that it just takes time with the die to really get the feel of what the die is doing.trust me you can feel the die moveing the neck back to specs.you can even feel it better when you deprim the brass first.I can move my necks back to specs with just one to two fingers on all my brass.when I resize 223 brass it just take a nudge with one finger to make the collet work. yeah one more trick for ya.annealing in some kind of time order with your brass helps alot.
