[QUOTE="Wide Glide, post: 1939777, member: 95299"] no nothing terrible. Most would have only been noticed if looking for it. My buddies would have probably loaded as is. Never thought to check for plumb because ive never had an issue when using lee ultimate die sets with added redding body dies. Only started having problems when i tried setting up this lyman set. It may all just be user error because my first thought when opening the box was that they came with the worst most generic instructions ive ever seen. The little folded paper said it was for like 6 different die sets. Fl die works fine with a ton of lube inside but i dont like using much lube in the neck The brass comes annealed from the factory and im one of those blowtorch and drill annealers so i never considered annealing again before firing. I ran a couple pieces of lapua “NT” Brass after the gwt brass with the same results so i think the brass is ok lube was one of my first guesses an i tried multiple Hornady spray Hornady unique wax Rcbs that comes with their lube pad Also homemade lanolin/iso heet none made a difference in neck sizing but the 2 sprays were way better for fl sizing. Im guessing that was because it was easier to get into the necks. dies and shell holder were bought a couple of years ago but just opened for the first time a few nights ago press is a pair of lee breech lock challeners not to be confused with lee classic cast. Ive had the pair for around 10 years now and manny many thousand rounds loaded with them problem free. In the past 2 months alone ive loaded and shot about 400 rds of 300wm and 300 .308. And had entirely predictable great results. That is the main reason ive never seen the need to upgrade. I have lusted over new presses for years now But I have never been able to pull the trigger because the current ones have always seem to be more than enough and I hate change so I usually don’t try to fix what isn’t broke. I have had my eye on the Reading big boss II for a little while now honestly if I hadn’t just spent over $600 On brass in the past two weeks I’d Be having a hard time not buying one right now . If I don’t get called into work tomorrow I’ll try to get. Around to taking that die apart and taking pictures and seeing what I can find [/QUOTE]
