Screw the FL sizing die in until it touches the shell holder, then screw it in another 1/2 turn or so ( check your sizing die's instructions). This makes up for any "slack" in your press/shell holder linkage.rcmodel thanks for that reminder, that's why i ask first act second. so I guess the Lee fcd is the way to go then. I take it that I did not have the resizing die set deep enough then to cause me this problem. I was under the impression that the resizer die needs to make contact with the shell holder and all should be good, perhaps i should screw it down a little further.
NOooo!!!!!Screw the FL sizing die in until it touches the shell holder, then screw it in another 1/2 turn or so
I think Walkalong is right.Seating and crimping at the same time is not the problem here. An improperly adjusted crimp is. That can happen either way. It is just a little bit simpler to set up a crimp by its self.
There are times, however, when crimping in a second step is a must.
