I'm having a problem with full length resizing .223 on my Hornady LNL AP and my Classic single stage presses.
The problem I have is head space. When I adjust the die down to touch the shell plate or shell holder the head space get longer not shorter. I read some where that this is problem and adjust down 1/8 to 1/4 turn more to solve the problem or machine .10 to .15 off the surface. I tried adjusting down and it worked. But I don't think forcing down is good for my press.
Has anyone else had this problem? Do I send to Hornady? Sell my stuff and go back to Bowling.
I forgot to say this is for an AR.
