[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1802202, member: 94491"] the die wasnt damaged, nore did it have any brass inside-- a standard fl resize die was pushing a brass ring back towards the belt-- thus it would make a small ridge of brass on the case just before the belt that was prohibiting the bolt from closing on the sized brass--in effect what was going on was that the 1x fire brass was not from my rifle and probably had a max saami or slightly over size chamber--If I used the LW die after my FL die it still had a small ridge (enough to catch your fingernail on)-- but when I tried the lw die first-- it squeezes the whole body of the brass down first--including right above the belt, back to saami minimum dimensions-- then I would use my fl die to bump the shoulder back .001 and size the neck--it was much easier to size the brass with my fl die after I used the lw die---his die "squeezes" the brass back down using a split collet so it does not have the tendency to push/plow brass like a normal FL die does since I used the lw die on the 1x fired brass, I have not had that issue since-- but I'm pretty sure it was due to the 1x fired rifle's slightly over-sized chamber--it was a way for me to buy 7rm Norma brass for .35c each to save some money-- but then had to buy the lw die to fix the brass-- I saved a little, but not as much as i originally thought I would, but now I have the lw die if i ever need it again, so i guess it was a good trade off in the end--thats part of reloading, dont count your costs you might be surprised how little $ you actually save--but you have high quality/accurate ammo when done [/QUOTE]
