[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 929688, member: 69989"] What dies do you have? I've taught a few people to reload. I have NEVER been fond of spray on lube. I want something I can feel being applied with my fingers. I always use imperial wax, its really cheap. Its like hardened vasoline. Do not substitute anything. When you start to resize, Get it on the neck and then the portion right after the shoulder. None on the shoulder, as it can cause dents the more lube you get in your dies. Put an empty round in your stand, move the ram up all the way, so they bullet is sticking out of the top of your press. Notice where the bottem of the case is. Lower the ram, screw in your sizing die. Make sure your decapping pin is lower than the back of the case so the round is deprimed. Start lowering your die a quarter screw at a time, looking at the neck of the round. You will notice that the die starts to leave a shiney spot on your neck that the die is actually resizing. I always try to get it as close to the shoulder as I can, leaving room so the lube doesn't cause dents in the shoulder. 1/16th of an inch will do well. That is your sizing. Get your ring down onto the press so the die cannot lower further. Lock it in with the screw in the ring. I'm assuming that is the step that is problematic. Make sure you cover your OAL by SAAMI specs until you get the concept of loading, and play wiht it from there. Do you have a micrometer? How are you measuring lengths? Case length when you start to load? OAL? Have you watched YOUTUBE videos? If you need help, lots of help here. PM people if they are open to it. -shm [/QUOTE]
