[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1133320, member: 4191"] I suspect the base of the Lyman FL resizing die is bottoming out on the shell holder. That's about the only time I recall having experienced such large forces on my Rock Chucker press handle. And this was the result of me not paying attention to the obvious cause of the increasing forces required while screwing the full length resizing die in a little deeper in small incremental steps. I was trying to set the shoulders back another 0.001" or so. Turned out my full length resizing die was a little longer than it should have been in order to set the shoulders back 0.003" on my .223 cases. Or my shell holder was a little taller than it should have been to be a good fit with my FL resizing die. [/QUOTE]
