sizing

Hello all, First of all, thanks so much to everyone on here for being an awesome community of reloaders. It’s been like having a reloading club next door but from all over the world! Now on to my issue- I recently purchased a Redding 2-die set for 30-06 to replace the Lee set I’ve been using...
