hi everyone, flexible here. I'm returning to this post after a rather long delay. Some serious health issues in the family.
I've partially set up Redding National Match dies in my Dillon 550B. I have the powder drop/die, and the bullet seating die set up just fine BUT - when i use the FL I got some binding on the downstroke (I had used Hornady One Shot to lube) but after using Crown case lube the noise and binding went away BUT now the cases are sticky. I don't want to dry media tumble all these again.
QUESTION; Do the dies need to get broken in (build up of lube) or is it the expander button working? My other rifle load setups i have removed the expander button.
2nd Question: how to set up the Redding taper crimp die? just trial & error?
thanks
