I began reloading 308 for my bolt action using the Lee deluxe 308 dies which includes both the full length sizing die as well as the neck sizer. For my once fired federal brass, I only did neck sizing and the cases chamber properly. The rest of my brass is all Lake City once fired brass and the bolt doesn't close without running it through my full length sizing die first.
My problem is: after i run the lake city brass through the full length sizing die, the mouth doesn't bell enough to allow the bullet to fit snug. Do I need to run the resized cases through the neck sizing die? I set up the full length die according to the lee instructions and adjusted until the empty cases would chamber properly into my rifle and the bolt would close completely. Do I need to screw the die deeper into my Hornady LNL AP? It already requires a good amount of force to fully raise the shellplate all the way up into the dies.
Thanks!
