It's a LnL AP. I'll try turning the die down more.

It was always my understanding that you back the die off the shell plate 1/4 turn. Am I mistaken?

I've been reloading for a while but not in the last year or so. I set up my press for .223 using RCBS dies I had previously used without issue. I've got some processed brass from sharch and some unprocessed from who knows where, probably Wideners. The processed brass chambers in my AR but the...

I wouldn't have used them either except for the fact that a set came with the lower.

I just received a Spikes Gen ll billet lower, also known as the compressor. It's milled out to accept the KNS anti-rotation pins. I'm putting in a Geiselle SSA trigger and what do I find out? Geiselle says don't use the KNS pins on any of their triggers. Crap.

http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/lid=16081/GunTechdetail/Setting-Up-Your-Full-Length-Sizing-Die This contradicts just about everything I've heard so far. Who's right? Or are both ways right?

What part of the hairspray actually does the trick? I'm fresh out with no wife around.

I just bought a Savage TR2 .22 and on the stock is a sticker that talks about their accu-trigger. Of course they didn't use a glue that allows for easy peeling and I can't get the darn thing to come off. It's a composite stock with a digital camo pattern and I don't know if a product like "goof...

I have the Lee, Hornady and Speer.

When do you guys do your trimming? After resizing or before?

A little bit right around the lower part of the shoulder all the way around.

OK. I just blackened two cartridges. One that chambers properly and one that doesn't. They both came out looking the same. I got my calipers out and measured every conceivable dimension and they all came out to within 1 or 2 thousandths of each other. I'm at a loss.

I do crimp with a Lee FCD but maybe I am crimping a little with the seating die. I'm going to try a sharpie and see what happens.

I've been reloading 5.56 for 7-8 years now and up till recently it's gone well. But now I can't get my recent reloads to chamber in any of my 5 AR's. The bolt won't close all the way and the rifle locks up to the point that I have to mortar it to get the cartridge out. It doesn't happen every...

Those are pretty good prices.
