I just received my die set last week and got started on some 450 loads.
I have having trouble with the bullet seating die.......it is different from any RCBS or Lyman die I have used before.
There is a sliding sleeve inside the die......if you have these dies you know what I mean.
When I try the load the bullet in the case it is catching on something inside the die ( probably the lip of the sleeve?).
If I give a lot of effort there will be a loud snap and the bullet will go in.
Sometimes I also get some brass or copper shavings falling out of the die.
Am I doing somehing wrong?
