Hi guys. I've been interested in reloading for a while and have been reading a bunch. After reading a bunch of good reviews on line about the Lee classic loader set up, I ordered one in .223. I wasn't worried about speed or anything and I figured that it was a low cost alternative for getting my feet wet in hand loading. So I read and re-read the instructions and my Lee reloading book, and started using my set up. I went through the steps and when I pulled my first case out of the die, to my surprise, it looked quite deformed. Thinking I had done something wrong, or out of order, I re-checked all my steps and it all seemed right. I tried Federal, Hornady and Remington once fired brass, and all did the same thing. I believe it may be a problem with my die. Any Ideas?
The picture is of all 3 types of brass next to a factory loaded Federal 55FMJ.
