Thread: Help Tearing rims off when reloading 223

Conclusion, poorly finished resize button and a sloppy shell holder. Am now the proud owner of an RCBS shell holder, and yes it is tighter and no more problems.
Surprised no one commented on the disappearing bullet. It was to say the least a WTF feeling. Did we just murder an innocent sandfly?

I did notice my Lee 223 shellholder is excessively sloppy as well compared to my 308 and 303brit, I was thinking of replacing it, now I will definitely will.
