I'm new to rifle cartridge reloading and am having a discrepancy sizing these 2 calibers. I'm using the same model Forester full length resizing dies on a Redding press & I've adjusted each die & mounted them on the press the same way. With new, 6.5 Creedmoor Starline, or Peterson brass, I just dip the necks into beads coated with graphite and size them with minimal effort. However, when doing the same procedure with with new .308 Norma and Lapua brass, it's next no impossible to size them using only graphite at the neck. I have to lube the entire case with some Lyman case lube, in order to get a case in & out of the die. Even with the case fully lubed, it requires much more effort with the .308 brass. Has anyone else experienced this?
