A buddy of mine passed recently, and his wife gave me all his reloading stuff.
So now I have an RL550B press, a .223 die setup (was in the press), and some issues. I loaded some pre-primed brass that he had, that worked great (both loading and testing the rounds). Now that I've added the decapping/sizing die and tried reloading once-fired brass, I'm having issues. The bullets are basically loose in the case - so I'm assuming that the sizing die may be the issue, but when I look at the die I don't see any adjustments that can be made.
I'm not 100% sure what die set I am using. I have 2 boxes - RCBS 11103 and 11101. The dies currently setup say: RCBS 223 REM FL- -5 and RCBS 223 REM SEAT -2.
I have 2 dies in one of the boxes, that say RCBS 223 REM SEAT 5, RCBS 223 REM SB.. 2.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated. I'm not sure if I just need to tweak what I have (and which die would need tweaking) or if I should swap either die out.
Lastly, I am reloading for an AR-15.
Thanks!
