[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1959374, member: 38154"] I was able to resize a case or two. What I had to do was tumble the brass to get the carbon and powder fouling off of it, then lubed it up real well. I then had to unscrew my sizing die about all the way, and raise the shell case in the shell holder (ram) up to the top of the stroke. I lowered the ram about a half inch and screwed the die in a turn, then raised the ram. I kept repeating the process of lowering the ram, screwing in the die a turn or two, then raising the ram. It took several minutes to resize one case. Maybe it was my dies, or maybe my rifle was really hard on the case, but I usually didn't pick the cases up after firing. It was just too much trouble. My rifle kicked them about 30 feet, and the kink in the side of the case proved to be the reason for all the trouble getting it into the sizing die. If I still had any, I would send them to you for free, just so someone could get some use from them. [/QUOTE]
