I found the lee die full length sizer isn't perfect. If i screw mine in like the directions say, i believe it undersizes my case. I can see a slight ring around the web above the head. I had to back off and turn my Lee fls die out 1/2 turn. To me theses dies don't have the greatest tolerances.I...
I cannot feel the ring with a wire with a hook on it. Should i try to FLS these few cases again or just neck size. I think i know one problem is i am using Hornady lock rings on the dies and when set they don't give at all like the rings on the Lee dies with the o'ring on the die.
Thanks dagger dog i will check it out and get back to you. My FLS die was set to about 1/3 rd more turn after i set the die. I am going to FLS and try about 1/8 th turn maybe this will keep from too much sizing.
Thanks all for the advice i will back off the FLS die a bit. All theses cases after FLS were checked with a wilson case gauge. The head space was fine with the gauge. But i will back off the die a bit. Thanks again
I am not loading off the lands i was just testing loads. The Sierre SBT is kind of short to try that i was looking for accuracy. There was no other signs of over pressure on the case except the pressure ring. Primer isn't flattened and no cratering of the primer. Also the high pressure load i am...
I reloaded some new Remington .308 Rifle Brass FLS the cases and loaded three seperate loads using imr 3031. Load 1 WLR primers, ogive to head length 2.125, 37.5 gr. imr 3031 using Sierra 150gr GK spitzer. This load was somewhat under pressure. Next load was WLR primers ogive to case head was...
Thanks i'm not a happy camper right now about this an waisting my time sending these dies back and forth. The way i feel is if i purchase new dies i shouldn't be the one to have to work out the scuff marks.
The previous die made the same cut marks as this one. So would you go ahead and load the cases an fire them at the range. I have a new Tikka T3 Lite in .308 i need to sight in with my hunting ammo. 150gr sierra spitzer boat tail
The ring goes almost all the way around the base of the shoulder. I can feel the cut mark with my finger nail. I did send Lee a picture of the case but haven't heard back from them yet. I will try to post a picture of the case. Thanks
Well i got a new set of Lee dies FLS die is doing the same thing. A thin very shallow cut mark around the circumference of the base of the shoulder of the .308 case. Should i go ahead and load them or send theses dies back and try another brand. Also this die set the FLS die has evidence of...
Sent the die set back to Midwayusa which they were very nice about it. They are sending a new set as i'm sending the one i have back. Thanks for your helpful input.
I am full length resizing with a lee FLS die this is a new die in .308. When i resize my new Remington brass to full length i am getting a small thin cut ring around the base of the shoulder the large part. I have adjusted to Lee specs 1/3 to 1/4 further down and i am puzzled. I would appreciate...
