I rarely run into problems when reloading. When I read some of the posts I just shake my head and can't imagine why the person is having a problem. Well, I guess my time has come. I have been re-sizing a bunch of once fire .243 brass. The brass is sorted by headstamp. I set up a Lee full length re-sizing die and went at it. I checked the first couple and all was well. After about 50 more I checked the fit and it was all over the place. Some too tight others just fine. There just wasn't any consistency. I attempted to readjust with no good results. Rather than waste time. I am fortunate enough to have a set of Redding dies. I used them and all is well. I don't want this to turn into a Lee products bashing session because I have used many of their products and they have worked well, for me. I have used their rifle dies in 30-06, .223, .308 with no problem. I re-sized all the first batch of inconsistent brass and they now fit fine. All I can think about is why this happened. My set up was my usual that normally works. Any ideas or thoughts about this problem will be appreciated because I am totally baffled. Best wishes and a healthy, happy fourth of July to all.
