Oh man!
I'm trying to make my 1st reload of 9mm (or anything else for that matter) using a Lee Aniversary kit. I think I've screwed up royaly at step 1. I'm using carbide RCBS dies and a LEE #19 shell holder. I thought I folllowed the instructions that came with the kit (they seem rather vauge to me). I set up the first die and adjusted it ti where it just touched the shell holder, and tightened doen the allen screw in the locking nut. I placed the spent shell onto the shell holder (it just sits loosely on top of the ram?), and lowerd the handle to remove the old primer. Now the case and shell holder are both solidly stuck inside of the die and I can't get it out. Should I pry to try to free it, or is there another way to release it??
I didn't use any lube because the Lee instructions said not to use lube with carbide dies. Hsave I ruined my new dies?
