[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 5848663, member: 5958"] Makes sense to me......the problem is the marks. Hard to move off the fact the redding dies are leaving marks. The marks represent friction between die and brass. Assuming the lube is functionally good (even if the brass came from a shot out M-60) the die should never leave a mark such as in the pics. Never. If so, the die is dirty (have seen that with my 243) or the die is defective. Would not be surprised if the die was not properly finished during the manufacturing process. I wonder if the marked brass would chamber? With No primer seat a bullet to SAAMI specs and chamber it, watching for bolt close effort. Compare to the other die...Might wanna smoke both bullets before chambering. [/QUOTE]
