[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1094125, member: 10755"] OK, "almost crush" is not a term I'm familiar with, but bear with me. Are you using the same die set for both rifles? Do you set the FL die to touch the shellholder, then screw it IN 1/8-1/4 turn PAST TOUCHING THE SHELLHOLDER. If you look at your press with a case in the die being sized, is there a gap between the shellholder and the bottom of the die? If there is, the case is NOT being sized to SAAMI minimum, which is most likely causing your issue. The best solution is to keep your brass for each rifle separate, use 2 separare FL sizing dies and adjust accordingly. It's been a while since I had a semi auto, but this is how I set mine up. Screw the die IN from touching the shellholder 1/32 turn increments, sizing, cleaning and chambering until a case chambers easily and extracts just as easy, any stickyness is a sign that more sizing is necessary. Once you find the correct amount of sizing, lock the lock ring, I mark the lock ring and die, unscrew the die slightly and tighten the lock ring screw when the 2 marks align, then tighten the die back down. Hope this gets you out of trouble. Cheers. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
