Setting up the Hornady LNL AP press. The ram can’t push the case all the way into the die. I don’t know if it’s a lube issue or not. I’m pushing pretty hard, and nothing. I would have to tap it with a hammer to go any further.
1. Redding .308 full length sizing die
2. Hornady one shot
3. Tried excessive lube, less lube, and using fingers to apply lube.
4. Disassembled the die and degreased prior to first case.
5. Thought it could be the brass, but measured every dimension possible per the Hornady book. It all matches up.
6. Double checked that they actually sent the correct die set.
7. I will be picking up a different lube to try this weekend.
8. Followed the directions for die setup.
Figured I would ask here to pick the brains of more experienced reloaders. Any ideas?
