Hello all, some time ago there was a post about Lake City and other military brass being a bit long at the head or rim and sticking out of a Wilson case gauge even when properly sized.
IIRC the gist was that the mil brass would end up sticking out past the top shelf of the gauge even on properly sized brass. Is this correct?
I'm asking cause I'm using a Hornady LNL with RCBS 223 dies, die is bottomed out on shellplate and still results in being over the top shelf on the gauge. I can't screw the die down any further as it's already putting some pressure on the plate and in fact at full cam it pushes up the die and bushing up a little from the press top.
Any ideas, solutions -- should I remove some material from the die, or verify the brass works fine in the AR chamber and call it good?
Or, should I resize on the Rockchucker?
And yes, tried to search for the above referenced post, but couldn't find it.
Thanks,
EM
