[QUOTE="copper still, post: 3076265, member: 125488"] I had an issue while working up a load that I've never come across and thought I'd ask for some help. I am using new Hornady brass and Barnes 168 TTSX bullets for my 300 WSM I am full length resizing with a lee die. I am using imperial wax I resized the brass, measured length was right and chamfered in and out. I then primed, charged and started seating the bullets with a lee die. The goal was 2.860" and I getting the die set walking in the COAL when I got to 2.870". The next little twist the bullet went to 2.850 so I used my bullet hammer and backed the bullet out a hair then backed off the die and repeated. I got to about 2.870" and then the next adjustment it jumped to 2.850" I tried a different case and bullet and the same issued happened. I then examined both bullets and I could move them up and down in the expansion ring/cannelure on the bullet. The lip of the brass was in the cannelure. I pulled the bullets, emptied the brass of gunpowder and de-primed all my brass. I figured that I must have done the resizing wrong. I pulled the die apart and cleaned it. I reset the sizing die with a 1/4 twist past it touching the ram, locked it down and double checked that it camed over a little. Okay I thought that should fix it and resized all the brass. This time before I primed the brass I took two brass randomly and tried seating again and the same problem happened. They can be slid back and forth in the cannelure. I am not sure what I'm doing wrong what do you suggest I do? Cheers, B [/QUOTE]
