[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 2108379, member: 77249"] Does the Lee shell holder seat into the ram centered with the ram? Have you had problems with RCBS shell holders in this press? Check the diameter of the bottom rim and grove of the Lee shell holder against a RCBS shell holder, With a Mike or dial caliper. If the diameter or the groove and bottom rim of the Lee is smaller, It is allowing the top of the shell holder to go back and out of center to the ram. This would make the shell case to slide forward so the shell case will stay centered in the seating die, If the case and bullet are in line when seating the bullet in the die the bullet should be seated straight. Check the Sizing die closely. If it moves forward in the shell holder when using a Full length sizing die it could cause an OOH WHAT NOW, Tear the rim off the case where the shell holder is contacting the rim on both sides, And you will have a case stuck in the FL die. Had a friend bring me an old turrent press this happened with. Had to remove a stuck case from the die. [/QUOTE]
