Hello,
I got a Lee Loader recently for my 1858 Remington Conversion, and am running into an issue. Thought I'd see if anyone here may know the solution.
After knocking out the spent primer, I lubricated the outside of the .45 Colt case with Lee resizing lube, and proceeded to insert the lubed case into the die. After looking at the instruction manual and watching several videos, I learned that the case needs to be flush with the die. I gave it a few taps, and then a couple hard whacks and it will not go in flush inside the reloading die. The end of the shell sticks out about an 1/8". Knocked each shell out and tried new cases, each ended up the same way.
To anyone with experience with the Lee Loaders, do you have a theory on what is causing this? Why will each case not go in all the way?
Thanks
