    Here's what I wanted to say in post #25
    Quote "You kind of have to run them into the lee whackamole dies again in order prime them and seat the bullet using the lee classic loader sets. It wont really change the shape of the brass much as the neck should already be down to size using the FL die." Unquote.

    @Juicy.Probably 20+ years since I used my Lee Classic Dies but I'm pretty sure you tap case out of die and sit case on top of priming tool with die loosely sitting on top of case to prime and to act as powder funnel then use as a guide for seating bullet with priming anvil tool. Only going by memory but I've done hundreds of 223 & 308 with those things. I would suspect FL die wasn't adjusted right ot cases are over-length. Sorry about the original nonsensical post.
