Thread: Reloading issues: stuck decaping pin, stiff pull when resizing

I found the problem... is anybody able to shed some light in regards to this picture?



The case on the right was one of the cases I was having trouble with, as detailed in my initial post. It looks like the shoulder has been 'bumped back' too far (is this the right terminology?). On the left hand side is a case I did after re-adjusting my FL die, this time the die was backed out 1/4 turn away from the shell holder. I didn't have any issues with decapping pin getting stuck in the flash hole and the operation was a lot smoother.

As I'm trying to expand my knowledge base, what has actually occurred here? Is the case on the right hand side still safe to reload and shoot? Am I right to think that my headspace has now been shortened, and thus, would not be safe to fire?



Thank you everyone, you've been a real help.
