[QUOTE="gilk1, post: 1697965, member: 38214"] This problem is exacerbated by tough brass like LC and lapua. Use imperial sizing wax when sizing - everything else is junk. I’ve had sizing issues with every Redding die I’ve ever used. The die doesn’t allow the case to be sized enough so you end up sizing multiple times or overcamming the press, resulting in inconsistent sizing. The competition shell holders don’t help this issue, they make it worse. The only solution is to grind the top of your shell holder down so the case can go farther into the die (I do this by hand 120grit sand paper places on a flat surface). After you fix your shell holder and apply the correct amount of lube, inside the case neck and outside the case, use consistent smooth pressure on the press handle and hold at the btm of the press stroke for 2-3sec.
