    Ask them their take on Hornady dies. They might have another point of view on it. Reloaders are pretty good.

Seems like the expander ball is quite short compared to the Lee and Lyman versions. The Redding ones are bushing dies so don't run a ball. Could also be due to milspec 7.62 once-fired cases out of a machine gun so a tad long haha...
    Do you lube the inside of your case necks with graphite powder? I have no problems at all with my 3 sets of Hornady dies, but I do dip every case neck in graphite powder before I size it.

    I lube the cases but NOT the neck, dip the neck in graphite powder.

    To stop that just rub the inside of the neck with graphite powder with a worn out brush with a patch wrapped around it.
    Guaranteed to work!

    I'm sure that will work. The thing that grates me a little about this is that I wouldn't have to do that with a lee die.
