I started to set up my Dillon 550B for 223 Remington last night and had a issue that I am trying to determine if I am doing something wrong or if it is just the way it is.
I installed a Lee 223 Rem Collet Die at Station 1 per the Lee Instructions -- Screw in die until it touches the shell plate then tighten one more revolution.
I then ran a few cases but on at least 2 of the 5 to 6 cases did not feed properly and I damaged the case mouth beyond repair.
So Question is
-- Am I doing something wrong or is this just what is going to happen every once in a while -- Case is loose in the Dillon/Progressive and does not feed properly
My options are to accept it or to run the cases through my Lee Single Stage press then through the Dillon -- I think it might be to tricky to both watch/allign the cases while at the same time watch/allign the bullet seating.
Thanks for any help
