[QUOTE="Dinky, post: 983044, member: 82598"] Well folks, everything you said made sense. But you can call off the dogs, and roll up the fire hoses. You could not possibly have figured out what the real problem was--since I have no doubt you assumed that if old Dinky were engaged in reloading, he must have an IQ of at least forty. WRONG! Suppose you hired someone to pour wax into a round mold and pull out round candles. And suppose further that the poor &*^% kept pulling out square candles. You would think he would check the mold, wouldn't you? So think of it this way: some poor slob puts his 300 Ultra Mag sizing die away only he switches it with his 300 Win Mag die. He then pulls it out and gleefully starts resizing 300 Win Mag cases in the longer die. No push back. Gee, ya think? The candles come out square instead of round! lightbulb Yep--guilty as charged. Everything is going quite well with the correct die--although I am having a little trouble getting it to stay set at bumping the shoulder back exactly .003 inches to minus .002. Once in a while, it sets it back a thousandth or two more. Could that be because I didn't lock the lock washer down with the hex wrench? Also, I am using Imperial wax and it's smooth as silk--but I have to ask, is it normal, with full-length resizing to have concentric rings all up and down the body of the case? Finally, I have not checked the dimensions of the bottom of the two cases, but I'm thinking I better pitch all the rounds I put through the wrong FL die into the garbage--just to be safe. Any thoughts? Thanks again for you help, and sorry to have been such a *******.
