How To Set Up A Full-length Sizing Die Perfectly 

Yeah, and lets do neck bushings and mandrel neck sizing. Let's do it for 8 calibers!!! At least I have single seating die for all and deprime dies and mandrel dies.... 4 fkn presses!

Look at the newer stuff 👍🏼

The case necks may still need to be trimmed after case resizing. Measure the overall length of the case after resizing and trim to the spec in your reloading manual. Or if you have the precise dimensions of your chamber, trim accordingly.

Yes your not doing anything wrong.. the shoulder bump method is just keeping your brass basically fire formed to your chamber (almost the same as neck sizing). He’s moving the shoulder back minimally so the rounds will be consistent and feed reliably. It also works the brass less so theoretically you’ll get more reloads from your brass

@@cjsawinskithat is a good explanation thank you!

Old vids, mic was malfunctioning

Ive gone through a few and always end back on redding

Sometimes that might be an issue with the web of the brass expanding too much when firing hot loads thus the only way to chamber it would be to bump the shoulders back more than what is prescribed. I experienced that on my 300 WSM. If you are in the 0.004" region you will experience case head separation without a doubt. 0.001 to 0.002 should be more than enough for it to chamber with ease.

Hihi, Loose die, dirty die, bad die, brass shot in different chambers, flat battery on callipers off the top of my head.

@@IMPACTSHOOTING Different lots of brass too. Racked my brain for a long time before I figured that one out.

Slack in the press linkage is another likely reason. (Setup a shoulder bump of .002 on Winchester brass then run a piece of Federal. More than likely the federal won't bump at all or even get longer. Or even the same brass but from a different lot. This is another area annealing is beneficial)

Do you mean like above the rim.. if so how did you fix it I am having the same problem where it seems my die is not resizing till the very bottom of the case like 6-10 mm from the bottom of the case.

@@vizionza332 funny enough I actually fixed this problem about a month ago around when I commented. Yes above the case head where the belt is. So I ended up changing from Lee dies, and RCBS dies to a Hornady FL sizing die. The other key I found EXTREMELY important is buying a sizing wax rather than using lubrication sprays or tubes of the lube. The wax is so easy to use. Dab a tiny bit on your finger and coat the entire cases including the neck. Run it through your full length die and no shavings! Bumped back to SAMMI spec for sizing and I’ve had nothing but great success. Can play with your load work up as you need but in terms of sizing. The Hornady die and wax they offer was the fix. I hate the fact you have to buy new dies and another waxing/lube compound but it’s definitely worth it than wasting money on brass.

@Alberta_MTN_Bear thank you for the help. Im starting to lose hope as im reloading 223 but 30% of the rounds I reload for some reason do not want to cycle through my rifle. When i try some of them get so stuck I have to hit the rifle on the ground to release the charging handle and eject the round.

@@vizionza332 absolutely I had those growing pains when I started out in reloading (not sure on your experience) My method is usually to Full length resize and use a headspace gauge to determine the chambering. Obviously with absolute always safety in mind I like to take my sized brass completely cleaned as well and run them through my action to ensure they all chamber correctly. Once that’s been completed I will proceed with loading and making a full round.

@Alberta_MTN_Bear yip so i have the lee challenger kit but it seems like there is like 3mm just above the belt/rim that is not getting resized which i assume is the reason it is getting stuck in my chamber. But the die is already touching the base plate where the cases go in. So I am thinking i need to try get a thinner shell plate to be able for more of the case to go into tge resizing die. If that makes sense. Thank you again for your help
