I use lee dies and the only problems I have are of my own making.
That said something definitely looks off with those reloads.
Have you tried to measure the sizing die to make sure it's actually sizing for .308 (if that's what is)
This got me thinking. I got this set of dies second hand. Maybe the previous owner did something with the decapping pin... lo and behold, it does not flare out like the replacement one listed on reloaders.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3e062ac5a6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...86c36728e6.jpg
I measured a couple of my dies, they were about 2 thou under nominated calibre
That's funny as fook....no wonder you had issues ...
For all that a few knock Lee there are many thousands using them both to compete and put meat on the table. That said, any mass produced product will have a percentage of faulty items. Like most of the major US suppliers Lee have a darn good warranty service even to NZ. When someone like Nathan Foster's into print recommending Lee dies for excellent Concentricity Intend to pay attention. While there may be a manufacturing issue, its the nut behind the wheel that causes the most problems. Thank you Richard Lee for all you've done to make reloading accessible and affordable literally to millions.
