[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 697082, member: 25383"] The Lyman rings are about .005" thinner than the Forster ones. After finding the proper headspace during the sizing operation, loosen the lockring but don't move it. Just retighten it to square everything thing up. I also run my sliding jaws kinda loose (the only thing they do is to pull the sized case out of the die anyway. Put two or three thousandths of shim stock under the guide bars to make everything flex a little more.How much it helps I can't say for sure, but it allows even more movement in the case head to help align itself with the die. When you get your new dies (whatever brand you opt for) take them apart and give them a serious cleaning. Then lube them with some very light weight spindle oil (Rem Oil works well). The seater is a little different. I lube the outside with light oil, but I use powdered graphite in the sleeve. Lastly; buy a tin of Imperial Die Sizing Wax, and forget about all the other case lubes. gary [/QUOTE]
