I wonder if anyone on the forum reloads this cartridge? I think it takes too much force to resize the cases with my lee dies. Any info on this from someone who has experience with these would be appreciated.

Silly question... are you using sizing lube?

I Reload for the 458 socom. I found that my Lee dies would not size enough for my RRA upper, I had to turn off about .035" in order to have cases that fed and extracted without sticking.
The new starline brass is harder to resize than fired brass. You are going to want to get a bottle of the Dillon case lube as well. First using the Dillon lube I thought it required too much force so I tried some of the One Shot I had left over and tore the rim off the next case. So I swapped back to the Dillon lube.
Over most other rounds I load, it does require more force but then again I don't run through 100's at a time.

Thanks for the link jmorris and the tip about dillon. I have only used rcbs lube. I am having to lube 3 times just to resize the cases. I love to shoot the rifle though. I have also noted that this is not a reload it 10 times cartridge.
