[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 1888980, member: 103317"] I recently had an issue with a set of Hornady Custom Dies for my 7mm LRM. I shot some rounds over the weekend in my 7LRM collecting load data for a new bullet size I wanted to try. After the range session I went home and started to clean and prep the rounds for another load. All went smoothly until I went to seat bullets and the bullets just fell into the cases. Odd, so I grabbed a couple more once fired cases from the morning session and ran them through the resizing die. I full length resize. Same issue. The cases are fine in the rifle, I chambered them to make sure there was no issue there but the necks will not hold the bullets. The die has a .316 bushing inside of it. Please note that I have loaded several hundred once fired pieces of brass and have never had this issue. I took the die apart and could not see anything that was noticeable to the naked eye. The .316 bushing came with the Die Set I received when I bought the rifle. How do you determine what size the bushing should be if I was to order a new one? My question is has anyone else ever experienced anything like this? I am hoping it is something simple and that once someone states it I will kick myself in the rear end and fix the issue. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
