I am trying to set up my new LNL seat crimp die.
I have called Hornady and they had no idea and had no suggestions.
I have cleaned per directions. I have tried at least 25 times.
I seat the bullet and so far no problem. As soon as I start to set the crimp the bullet hangs up or sticks as I lower the case from the die. When I say sticks, I mean I have to almost yank the ram to get it to release.
I have tried seating the bullet and then backed the seating out and set the crimp separately. This is where it hangs up.
I have adjusted the expander die to where I have to hold the bullet to guide it into the die all the way to where the bullet falls into the case. It makes no difference.
When I put the calipers on the case mouth, it seems to get larger when I crimp.
MY LEE dies never gave me any issues.
I figured someone else has had this problem and thought I would ask.
Thanks!
