First sorry guys if my constant questions are irritating some.
I have 2-223 bolt guns and decided to quit messing with the HB and work up some hunting loads for the hunting gun and while messing with it trying to size the brass just enough to fit the chamber tightly because it worked so great for my HB rifles accuracy the die lock ring came loose and now I lost all my settings.
Here is the issue... I have several pieces of LC once fired in the HB which I want to set the die up for but I have no clue how to get my die back to where I wanted it. what I did when I first acquired this once fired Mil brass was size it little by little until it chambered in the rifle and then left the die alone. seeing how every single piece of brass is once fired or has been mixed up with what wasn't sized for that gun and what needed. someone took all my 800-900pc of brass and decided to move it when it was separated for the tumbler and now I have no clue what's what.
I tried chambering several pieces and I don't feel resistance like I did before so I'm thinking I goofed a year or so ago and FL sized everything else per RCBS instructions. I tried using the same 50-100pc of LC 07 for load workups and now have no clue whats what in that batch.
can someone please help me get my dies back to where I need them to chamber tight in this rifle?
