Reloading Rifle Ammo

Yeah.. Can you post a pic of the Die markings showing the caliber? It's not a 338 Ruger Compact Mag (RCM) die is it?

LOL I can understand you questioning it, it's like, "Is the toaster plugged in?", when it won't work. Trust me, it's .338 WINMAG. Aaaaaa WTH, here's a shot of it if it's legible.

Yeah sorry, I deal with customers all day and too many of them get through a lazy tier 1 support..

Have you tried running the case up into the die with no decapping stem ? Just to take the stem
out of the equation and put all the blame on the die body.

Yep, and I got that bastard stuck pretty good too.

Did you set the die up correctly ?..

did you lube the rifle brass

I think so. I put a new round in the press and turned the die down until it just hit then locked it in with the lock ring. Then I installed the decap pin. It was suggested that I used a used shell instead and I didn't fare any better that way. Should the butt of that shell be sticking out that far? I don't think so and someone previously posted that the die should come just about down to the plate and obviously it doesn't with that shell sticking out that far.

did you lube the rifle brass

Yep.

Are you trying to decap and resize..?
With my rcbs dies a 223 case runs all the way up to the shell holder..

I think he said it's a Reading Die, not a Dillon

My bad. Thought I read dillon

Yep and this is my first at this so I don't know what to expect. I really think the die is miss-stamped.

Well I'm just starting out too.. and I just looked at my decaping pin busted off.. do don't listen to me..��
