Okay, I understood you were using a Lee seating die, but not that it was the problem.
In any case, the threads on the dies are machined fairly loose. This is to make sure the die will line up with the ram and the case. The best sequence of events when adjusting the die(s) is to screw them in or...
The question was, "Are you running the case into the die before tightening the die locknut?". The key word is "before". If you tighten the locknut without having a case seated in the die, the chances are the die is not aligned with the case.
You still haven't made it clear which dies is...
While you are at the Goodwill, pick up a couple of muffin tins to use for ingot molds. It doesn't matter if they are Steel or Aluminum. I use a cast Iron dutch oven over a crab cooker to melt the large (dirty) batches. A large slotted spoon works well to strain the wheel clips out of the pot -...
My son and his wife each have one - his in .308 and hers in .243. They have moved on to Howa bolt guns now, his in 7mm and she has two, a "Plain Jane" in .308 and a "Barbeque rifle" in .243. They both still like the Model 100's though and wouldn't think of selling them.
I have a "Like new - no...

If you're on the inside and the BG's trying to get at you . . .
Just trying to demonstrate the low power of a LSWC .38 spl. As an ex-paramedic for a major metropolitan fire department, I can assure you the .38 spl. is not a manstopper. :(
I carry a Detonics .45 loaded with 200 gr. HP.

The 158gr lead semi wadcutter hollowpoint FBI load is always a good performer at 900fps."

Darn! I knew I should have gone to the show. If you ever feel the need to get rid of 753584, let me know. I was shipped on the same date during a blackout at Seattle's Providence hospital.
Looks like your pistol is in better shape than I, though.

I believe he was talking about the new 9-11-01 which is a full-size piece.
Rumor has it that Detonics will be showing a new model at Las Vegas with the short Combat Master frame and a Commander-length slide.
I have a 9-11-01 but as yet unfired. Can't seem to get the...
I'm sure these folks would make an outstanding set of grips for you. . .

I'm going to ask them about a pair made from black buffalo horn for my 9-11-01 Detonics.
It would be a challenge to find a used Mark VI Detonics for much under $600, but it can be done. I saw one at a gun show this month which included 4 magazines and a nice holster. He was asking $600 and seemed eager to deal.
I have carried a Mark VI for just twenty years, now. It has never...
