[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1181390, member: 5219"] I agree with Gene. Some of the thicker cases like WSM, RUM and RCM don't spring back as they should and hang up, even with loads that are not over pressure. At least that is what I have encountered. The RCM gave me fits till I had Whidden make me the correct sized FL bushing die. I Tried Hornady's die first, then RCBS and even Redding before I got the Whidden. Now that click is gone. If you cannot get a small base die you can make one. After several firings my 300 RUM just wouldn't work well with same click described by the OP. I used a carbide tool bit and cut off both ends of a RCBS FL die, leaving the center so I could lower it to properly size down the web area. Issue solved. (you should see the beautiful orange sparks as the cutter goes through the case hardening! After that it cuts like regular steel) [/QUOTE]
