[QUOTE="CroatGoat, post: 3919703, member: 40744"] 1 to 3 is correct. Step 4 is, i pull the CH back, but the round does not come with it. It does try to chamber the next round. I can drop the mag, the next round falls out. If i hold the bolt open and the rifle up, the chambered round falls freely out. I am sizing with an rcbs FL 'xdie'. Currently, i bring the press to the top of stroke, with shell holder in place, then screw the die in all the way, as hard as i can with finger pressure. I do NOT lower and screw an extra 1/8 turn up or down, i lock it where i had hand tightened it, the way i do with pistol ammo. I do lube cases and inside of mouth before sizing. I do trim cases with a lyman ez trim, then prime, charge, and seat. [/QUOTE]
