Thread: Issues with Lapua 6.5x55 brass fitting shell holder

I have some lapua cases here that are super tight trying to get them into the shell holder, have tried both the redding #1 and the RCBS #2 as specified for 6.5x55.

Some cases are very tight to get into the holder, others just will not go in, a right PITA!!

Read on an overseas forum that someone else had the same issue a while back, these cases i have will be pretty old, judging by the factory ammo box they came out of (once fired factory Lapua).

Does this issue still exist with new lots of lapua or shall i go with another brand like Norma etc?
