I just began reloading today! I have a few questions that I would appreciate some help with. First, rounds loaded with my full sizing die are being dented just below the shoulder. What is causing this? Second, I seated a couple of rounds 1/16th of an inch too deep with the starting load. Are these going to be unsafe? Thanks for your help. | ||

Thanks for your help! Do you recommend one of those lube pads? I was just putting the lube on with my fingers per the manual. | |||

NO....use a spray like "one shot".....I use Lyman but the one shot is good too. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

A way to stop denting from too much lube, is to wipe each case off lightly with a shop rag before sizing.. Instead of case lube.. I use an old frying pan, and WD 40 to lube my cases... and then tumble them after resizing to take the lube off... cheaper, easier, and less messy..

I use a lube pad. For me, its easyer, simpler, no over spray waste or mess. I wipe them off with a rag after also | |||

Haven't you guys heard of Imperial Sizing Wax? It's MUCH less messy than a lube pad and a little bit on your fingers goes a very long ways. | |||
