Was full length resizing my 35 Remington brass using my Redding FLR die. Set up exactly as instructions state and the die is failing to size the last 0.180" of the case. Are using a Redding shell holder and a RCBS Rockchucker Supreme press.
Brass is 1x fired Hornady I bought new. Brass measured using Hornady Head space gauge and case measure 1.557" before sizing and 1.555 after. This die has always bumped back the shoulder on my 35 Rem brass with amazing consistency 0.002". This will be only their second reloading.
I then used my RCBS FL die and RCBS shell holder and it left the SAME exact last 0.180" of brass untouched. I also measured my RCBS, Redding, Lee and Lyman shell holders and they all were with in 0.005" +/- of each other.
Is my solution to take shell holder and use a belt sander to remove as close to the 0.180" as I can as I have read suggested to others with a similar problem? I have more than a few shell holders for 35 Remington so I'm not concerned about ruining one.
These were fired in and are for my Marlin 336A lever actions and I am very concerned about getting one stuck in the chamber.
I have included a picture of the case.
