I have the abovementioned die in .303 British, and tonight I was trying to set it up to load a dummy round with a Woodleigh 215gn RN hunting bullet. The press is an RCBS Partner Press.
I followed the instructions, screwing the die into the press until it contacted the shellholder, then adding a quarter turn. Therein my problems began. I can't seem to load these bullets into the case to the regulation 3.075 inches max COAL without backing the seating stem out so far that it's practically falling out of the press.
What am I doing wrong?
