I sent for some MBC smallball and thought I'd try them out. After all, the price is right. I'm using a Lee Turrent press, although I'm using it in the stationary mode and the turret is not turning. I'm also using a Lee die set.
The problem is that I can't get a consistent bullet depth. I actually did get one to seat at 1.15" COAL. I've tried for hours over several sessions using several dummy rounds. :banghead: I even took the die apart and cleaned it. No matter how high I adjust the seater plug, the bullets get seated deeper! So I use a hammer type bullet puller and take it apart and try again. I also reset the entire die depth per Lee instruction sheet. I've never seen anything like it. I also have a Lyman Turret press and thought maybe I'd place the die in that.
I'm really stuck on this one. I could use some ideas.
Thanks.
