[QUOTE="nowler, post: 74559, member: 2305"] hi folks i seated some 120grain b/tips using my new 6.5x55comp seater from redding this morning. first 40 went great, then started encountering some resistance about half way through the press stroke. next thing, bullets are coming out with scratches and gounges out of the jacket from the ogive and continuing somewhat down the shank. took the die to bits and it appears that the little sliding bush/shuttle thing that actaully seats the bullet is shaving metal off the inside of the tube that it can slide in. the point where it is stoping at is building up a ridge of this swarf and it is this that is ruining my heads. this is a brand new die set up as per instructions. i have about 8 other comp sets for all different calibers and have never experienced this before during years of reloading. any ideas what's happening here folks? i have emailed redding but i won't here back until tomorrow and i am not that patient..... thanks in advance derek [/QUOTE]
