[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 549107, member: 15748"] Mada, for starters, it sounds like you need a better lube. Something like the old Imperial sizing die wax, now offered by Redding. Little goes a long way, and it should ease the feeling of pressure as you beat down on the press handle. It takes some degree of force to get a case fully resized, but it sounds like you're on the verge of sticking one, and tearing the rim off on the downstroke. As Boom Tube said, if these were cases originall fired in your rifle, it shouldn't take too much to get them to chamber easily again. Forget the belt, and size them as you would a conventional rimless bottlenecked cartridge, and you'll do fine. [/QUOTE]
