[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2227679, member: 94543"] I found my problem. And possibly have a different one. 🤦🏻♂️ A buddy let me use his Wilson expanding mandrel. It instantly worked and solved my issue! Some of the virgin brass was really tight going through the mandrel! here’s my potential issue… I think the mandrel is opening the necks up too much. I was able to hand seat about half of the bullets 1/8” or so and they took almost no pressure to seat in the press. When I ran them through the magazine and into the chamber of my rifle they were actually lengthening in COAL by about .002”, even though they were well off the lands. Would a potential issue be to polish the mandrel Slightly to make it a little bit smaller? The mandrel is .263. [/QUOTE]
