I've noticed over the last couple hundred rounds of lead that I keep having to adjust the bullet seater out every couple of rounds, so I decided to pull my Lee Bullet Seating/Crimp die apart and this is what I found
Please note that my rounds are seated and crimped just fine, the die was just clogged with lead.
Those two clumps are piles and piles of little lead rings. They get shaved off pretty much every time I seat a lead bullet. Do I need to flare my cases more, or maybe clean the die more often. If I had to guess, this is the first time in about 1000 rounds I have taken it apart. On the same note, how often and what do I use to clean the dies with?
