Re: NEED SOME ADVICE ON 308 DIE

If they are head stamped Lapua 308 Win then they are boxer primed. Does the primer get pushed out right at the end of the stroke? I do wonder if the decapping pin is adjusted long which has caused it to bend slightly and cause the pins to break, personally I think that is a long shot but worth checking. Redding dies are of a good quality so you should not be experiencing problems like this.

What sort of press do you use and is the ram a good fit through the frame or can you move it much side to side when it is fully up and without a die in?
