    Well I ended up backing the fl size die back some so it doesn't bump the shoulder and now it's better and I'm able to get 2.282 with 55gr amax.  The only thing I'm worried about is the neck is only getting halfway resized which might mess with my neck tension.

    This makes no sense to me, but what should I, a class 06 ammo manufacturer know, anyhow?  8) 8)

    I have no clue either.  I have a tikka in 7mm-08 and the cases will do the same thing.  When I set my FL size die I usually always turn it in until it touches the ram then back it out about 1.5 turns or the bolt will be hard to close. I'm not really sure why this is.

    I lube the inside of the neck on every 3rd or 4th case.  My decapper is set flush with the top nut.

    Yeah the bolt is really tight to close.  I lost as if the lee fl size die doesn't form the shoulder correctly

    You can just leave it long action.  My wife's t3 7mm-08 is running long and it feeds just fine.  Just slide the rounds to the back of the mag.

    Hi I'm thinking for getting a Lyman gen 6 dispenser , has anybody used one or what do you use , the gen 6 is rated at +-0.1 grn so it needs to be the same or if possible better, I don't need a memory function
    Thanks

    I use this scale for reloading and it works great.  It will sometimes throw +- .1 but its easy to just tap the dispenser spout and to get the needed weight. in most cases it throws .1 under so it easy to just tap out a little more.  If it throws over its east to just dump a little out and then tap it to the weight.  The scale really speeds up the reloading process.

    You can either do the 9/16 thread or you can get the barrel cut some and go with the 5/8.
