Hey guys. I'm new to reloading. I've got 17 years of 223 brass to load. Soo...I bought a used progressive from a friend of mine. I'm using it as a single stage so to speak, just loading one case in the turrent at a time. My frustration is 1) my case trimming is not coming out consistently at 1.750. I'm using the lock rings and a known case size as an constant. My OVERALL CASE LENGTH is always just under 2.200. Bullet seat is good and on the crimp.
2) I'm using Hornady dies and so far , imo, they're a ***** ! Getting them set is a pita !
Am I just too new, stupid or both !
