[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2249583, member: 61747"] Good point about the pressure. I think it's 2 parts, not sizing down far enough and not undersizing enough. When I sized my 5x adg brass in the custom whidden I was using hornady one shot spray and thought I was going to have to toss the brass. I switched to the hornady one shot wax and they all run butter smooth in the die and wind up at .5295-.530. My spec was .5275 on the ID at the web. Seems it's giving the .002 to .0025 spring back. If I recall my other dies all ran down to .5285 and spring back to .5305 to .5315. Most seemed to fall around .531. That .001 chamber clearance is not enough. My hornady test is to run the brass in the Redding die, same as adg that created the issue, and see if develops the same problem. If it does, then I'll swap to the custom die and see how the brass reacts to it. [/QUOTE]
