Im using hornaday FL sizing die
Cant figure out how to upload pictures from phone will use the computer tomorrow
The Redding body die does a great job. However, you shouldn't need to use one if you have a FL die as that will have the exact same ability to bump the shoulder back as the Redding body die which will also resize your case (less the neck section). In other words a body die is a FL die without the neck section.
I had this issue I am sure it was that brass the primer pocked was an odd shape and the primer did not seat properly making many of the rounds fractionally too long to close the bolt.
I used a primer pocket reamer worked fine after I did that.
No the primers were not crimped.
So i channelled my inner westy and cut a piece out of a woodstock can and put it in the shell holder and gave the dodgy cases a xtra bump in the sizing die.
The cases now chamber all ok apart from the last 2 that i did which where a bit tight i think the alluminum got compressed thus not giving as much bump.
Good thinking
Sounds like your running a warm load unless it is poor brass.. I would do what sneezes said and get some meat removed off your shell holder or die.
Better yet get a body die.

Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
JDs are a bit rich for me danny😁
Yea ive been running them a little hot lately only way i have been able to get the eldx to group.
A RCBS trim/form die will sort the problem.
Im making a change to lapua brass so hopefull that holds shape better, If not il look in to it. Its weird how 30 cases are all ok thus getting enough sizing.
but 5 ramdom cases are no good.
Thanks for the advise all.
Does anyone deal with black watch reloading?
