honestly, the Sierra pro hunters where not bad, the Barnes bullets were fairly difficult.
I was using my RockChucker and it was a bit stiff to get started.

Going in three steps would be OK also. I ran across a thread on bullet resizing last week that took .375 bullets and resized to 9.3 mm (.366) due to the lack of adequate bullet offerings. Just to show that this is being done by others.

One thing I found on the 325 gr Hornadys and 400 grain Speers is to set the die so the ram is nearest the end of the stroke. This is the highest leverage point on my press. Yours may be different. I might have to screw the size die into the press a couple of times in order to make a complete pass. It is also necessary to make sure the insides of the die are clean and free from copper or lead. I had done a bunch of lead and then went to the jacketed and essentially soldered the jackets to the die. Just make sure that when you switch from various jacket types, that you clean the die thoughouly and periodically.
