[QUOTE="njc89, post: 2088099, member: 35258"] Well, lubing necks didn’t make much difference in seating force needed. The VLD seater is still leaving rings on the Bergers. I suspect the Lapua brass may just be a lot stiffer than the other brands I have worked with. So... been trying to digest all the advice here for the past several days. Looks like I need a neck turning setup, a bushing die, several bushings to get the right size, sizing mandrels and die... oh, and eventually an arbor press - basically starting from scratch with my setup. Wife just won’t understand. 🙁 In the meantime, would you expect better results sizing the brass without the expander, and coming back with a mandrel die slightly larger than the .263 sizer that’s on my current die? thanks for the responses guys. I was hoping for a less expensive course of action, but I do appreciate the help. Pay to play I guess. [/QUOTE]
