[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1379644, member: 3099"] Did you screw the [B][I][U]seating die[/U][/I][/B] down to touch the shell holder? It sounds like you are crimping it way to much while bullet seating. To set your seating die: 1) Place an empty case in the shell holder and raise the ram all the way up. 2) Screw the die down until you feel it touch on the crimp groove, then back it out 1/4 to 1/3 of a turn and lock it down. 3) Then adjust your seating stem to get the OAL you are needing. If you want a crimp do it as a separate operation. Your results will be much better this way. [/QUOTE]
