[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1353220, member: 44168"] try the kiss method (keep it simple stupid), and I am not saying that you are stupid it is just a saying. Your collet die is probably dirty take it apart and clean it, when you put it back together a drop, no more, of fine machine oil or grafite on the shoulder of the collet (the outside shoulder that contacts the die not the inside that contacts the brass, DONOT over lube). Then clean your brass before sizeing. My method is deprime, clean, then collet size. One more thing though I have a classic cast breech lock & collet dies once my dies have been set I tossed the lee rings and replaced them with layman rings. As a last thing,,,, a few days ago I was sizeing brass and noticed that it did not feel right as it was I found out that you can put the breech in and not have it lock in place. You may want to check that [/QUOTE]
