I only had a couple of cases to charge for the mas36 in 7.5 so I thought I know Ill have a go with my Lee hand press supposedly people use them all the time for full length sizing rifle cases.
Madness I gave up after the first attempt it was bad enough sizing it down to the case rim but trying to get that final bump. No chance. I lubed it by hand before trying with unique sizing wax that is really good stuff. I'm full of admiration for any one that can full length size a 100 rounds on one of these things. Madness sheer madness. I ran them through my lyman crusher like a hot knife through butter much more civilised. clapclap

Must be doing something wrong then, I do 100x batches of .222, .223, .308 and .338LM with mine. All full length sized.

I take my hat of to you Sir. Not my cup of tea. What type of lube do you use. What is your technique when sizing.

Either Lee resizing lube or Lyman Quickshot.....
I'll give you a tenner for it, I could always do with an extra one on the bench.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Full length sizing with Lee hand press.
Sorry chaps. I normally use it for depriming cases with the Lee depriming die. I certainly won't be trying to resize with it again.
