I looked at the brass tonight and it is all different headstamps. I am pretty sure that is the problem. I will try to borrow another 308 die to check and see how that acts. Again, I appreciate all the input I have had from you guys.
To answer a few more questions. It's a regular full length die. I am reloading this for a friend, and I don't own a 308 so this is the only brass I have or have loaded through these dies.
I feel that it is probably the brass too. Because I ran all 40 rounds through the same die and some has good neck tension. I am for sure that it is 308 dies, because that was the first thing I checked. And I also made sure that I am caming over the press. I appreciate all the answers I got on...
I did also take the expander ball out of the die and then resize and it was still so loose that the expander ball would slide in and out with no resistance
Yes it's some once fired that I had bought. On the 2 worst cases the expander ball will slide in and out without even touching the sides. It acts like the die itself is not sizing the neck. Is that even possible.
Got a issue and I am needing a little help. I loaded up 40 rounds of 308 winchester the other day and everything seemed fine till I got to the bullet seating step. The amount of pressure it took to seat the bullets was all over the place. There was 20 nickel cases that seem to seat with what I...
I had the same issue with my a bolt 25 wssm. I was full length resizing just as I would with other climbers and the bolt was stiff after firing. Once I turned the sizing die down a 1/8 of a turn more than normal it seemed to fix my problems. Mine now chambers and the bolt opens normally after...
I have been using a cordless drill on my rcbs trimmer and was wondering if there was a correct speed to run the drill on. Normally I run it on low but for the last few nights I have trimmed over 1500 pieces of 223 brass and ran the drill on hi to make it a little faster. Everything seemed to...
I buy most of my components from Midsouth shooters supply. As you stated they will probably be out of most things but they will allow you to backorder. I live about an hour drive from them and even with me having to pay the 9.75% state tax the price is still usually cheaper than most.

Just thought that I would let everyone know that the new Vibra primes are in stock at Midway. I put one on backorder a week or so ago and the expected ship date was sometime in June but I got an email a few minutes ago saying mine had shipped. I have never used one but thought it would be better...
I have both the hornady auto charge and the rcbs case prep center. I am pleases with both of them and they both save me time. I would say that the case prep center saves me the most. I have mine set up to champur inside, debur outside, clean primer pockets, and debur flash holes. I did at one...

Are you sliding your slide back about half way when you are trying to push the slide lock lever out? I have a P95 and that is how it works. When you slide the slide back there is a notch in the slide that will release the lever. Hope this helps.
