Have read some previous post on the topic, but still dont fully understand. Just got about 1k pieces of 7.62x51. Mostly RA 70, with some WRA 68, and TW 69.
I deprimed, swaged, and deburred all pieces before sizing. Using the only die i have, a Lyman FL 308, i notice you really have to put out to size the cases... Using the same case lube as always, Unique, which i like and never ever had a problem with. I did notice i had to set the die so it would bump(Cam Over) the shellholder to get the neck portion sized down to the shoulder, and even then doesnt quite size completely to the shoulder. Im sure it was all once fire military, as it was a pain to get all those primers out..Is it normal for military cases to be tough to resize the 1st time in regular 308 dies? Thanks.
