Thread: New to reloading problem

Brass will expand and release the bullet and then can retract to a size that may not allow u to hand fit a projectile. If u can hand fit a projectile, even with a little force, that's normal. A properly sized neck should not allow you to fit a bullet by hand even with brute force. (Unless you are experienced and have dies that set your neck tension to 1 thou etc...)

As mentioned before what type of dies are you using?

Most standard sizing dies should size the neck so you cannot fit a projectile in the neck by hand. The neck should be a few thousandths smaller than the projectile after sizing.
