First off, hello all. I have trolled these forums for tons of information for quite some time. This time I need to see if anyone has encountered the same problem.
I am loading .30-06 in a Hornady AP press with the RCBS dies. I am full length sizing my R-P headstamp cases. My problem is that some of my casings are seating in the rifle perfect, some are tight, and some just straight up become stuck. I then get the ones that will work in my rifle, but try to test them in a different rifle and it is extremely tight or again become stuck. I have calipered every single area on the case for perfect measurements. I have tried dummy rounds, just casings, and fully loaded rounds.
I do not know if it the full length sizing die is going bad (it is fairly old)? Something to do with the progressive loading of a rifle case (I know single stage is better for rifles)? I even set the sizer to touch the plate and another quarter of a turn down to try and get the maximum out of the sizing.
Has anyone ever encountered this type of problem and have any suggestions for me? Thanks everyone!
