I have had real problems using the Redding body die in my Hornady LNL AP press. Using a RCBS case micrometer I can't adjust the body die down far enough to fully resize a case. Even with the die compressed against the shellplate the brass still emerges about 3 thou oversize.
Anyone else come across this ? I have this with both the 308 and 223 versions of the body die.
Just for 'background' in the last case I was loading in bulk for an AR15, but wanted to make the best ammo I could. The LNL AP was set up with the Redding decapper/bushing neck sizer in station 1, body die in station 2, powder in 3, seater in 4. Federal cases, Rem 7 1/2, 26 grains of BLC2, Hornady 55gr FMJBT.
As you would expect, the standard Hornady FL sizer/decapper works just fine in the Hornady press.
Thanks !
