Hi,
My first attempt at resizing and it's taking all my strength, and even with the die turned in 1 full turn I'm not getting the die to close on the shell holder. Then I can only extract by unscrewing the die which damaged the cartridge rim (Head?)
Details are Sako 243 cases bought used belied 1 or twice fired. Lee FL die, it says Lee-243-FL6 on it, what does the 6 mean? Lee lube, Lee No2 shell holder, oldish Lee Challenge Press (the joints are a bit wobbly, is that normal?)
Maybe I should anneal a case and try again?
Advice gratefully received.
