I am a relatively novice reloader and have just recently started reloading the .375 H&H. The rifle was built by Mark Bansner on Win 70 Action. The problem arises when I Full Length size my once fired brass. This is WW factory brass that I loaded with minimum loads. The FL sizer is only sizing approximately half of the case neck. The first case in the picture is a once fired case. The second two have been FL sized. One is clean and the other is smoked to better illustrate the problem. There is a slight bulge in the case where the sizing stops. It is barely detectable when I run my finger nail over it. I am using a Redding FL sizing die with the die screwed all the way down to the shell holder. Can't figure this one out. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Let's try that pic again.

Dave- Your photos don't show on the post so it's very difficult to suggest a cure. I do however also live in Southeast PA (King of Prussia) and I'm set up to load 375 H&H with my RCBS dies. If you want, you could stop over my place some evening and we could run a few of your cases through my dies to see if that solves the problem.

I'm leaving for Africa on 4/30 so PM me if you want to give this a try.

If your die is really screwed all the way down, touching the shellholder, and it still leaves that much of the neck unsized, it almost sounds like a faulty die.

Contact Redding and see what they say.
