Yes the Lee dies have an expander part on the decap rod.

Thats why I asked if it starts out OK and then gets harder to shift as it goes over the expander part.

Personally I'd get some other lube as that sounds like redding neck lube which is not for FL resizing.

Personally I don't like dry lubes for sizing, Imperial is very good and I've used it for years and still do but have found Hornady Unique to be as good and a lot cheaper.
Were do you get your Hornady Unique from.

We are chugging along now. Have only prepped 50 cases and am just charging them now. Running them to a consistent length and have lightly crimped them, run them through the magazine and chambered them with no problems. A low load of 40gr of N140 so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Pistol rounds are a doddle compared to this rifle malarky!
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Hope you have fun,i believe it's meant to be windy and raining tomorrow.I was going to be popping down to buddon but considering the weather and the fact i'd only be bringing the .22 to reduce stocks of unwanted ammo i've decided not to bother.

No4 Mk II Regulated. It will be my first time out with it as it replaced the No5. As Mr. Smith says the weather forecast is awful!
