[QUOTE="jakelly, post: 757712, member: 26850"] I think I hear your problem. If I'm right, you're setting your die up wrong. The bullet seating die doesn't contact the shell holder in dies that have a crimp setting built in. To adjust your die properly: Back the die body and the seating plug nearly all the way out. Place a piece of sized brass, a loaded round at the appropriate length is best; but you may not have one, in the shell holder. Raise the ram to the top of the stroke. Screw the die body down until it makes contact, internally, with the case mouth. Now back it out 1/4th turn or whatever amount you think is necessary to maintain a safe distance from the crimping bevel. Set your die body lock ring at this point. Now play with your depth to get it right. If you used loaded ammo simply screw the seating plug down until it makes thorough contact. This should solve this problem. [/QUOTE]
