    Whidden die hard to thread into RCBS Rebel

    Mine did the same thing in my Mec Marksman. Screwed it in and out several times and it was fine.

    Small Base Dies(Body vs Full length)

    I use a redding body die to bump the shoulders back then use a lee collet die to size the necks. If you use a body die you will have to size your necks with something.

    Sheared Case Neck Off While Neck Sizing.

    I use a Lee collet die for my 6.5 creed and never use lube. These dies shouldn't open up the neck. They should squeeze it smaller. Did you full length size, body size, or were you neck sizing fire formed brass?

    New reloader hornady LNL AP

    I don't see the need for a separate measure for each caliber. I already had one when I got my AP. I use them for quick powder changes for different loads during a loading session.

    New reloader hornady LNL AP

    It took me a while to get my powder measures (2) set up, but once done, they drop within 0.1grain very consistently. I do only use them for pistol and 300 blk. Get the appropriated micrometer metering assembly and it is much easier to make adjustments. Right now, the price of shell plates...

    Chargemaster lite opinions

    Firing 308 win with only a primer
