Got a brand new Lyman die set for 6.5mm creedmore. It is part of a deal with some lightly used Hornady brass.
First use I found the brass hard to go into the sizer, even it was amply lubed. It is the sizing down of the brass neck that is rough and scratchy. The brass neck came out with thin shavings and scratch marks. I thought it was the brass. Its neck wall thickness was indeed on the thick side. Turning it down to 0.0115" helps but it is still more difficult than other calibers.
Perhaps the die's neck is undersized or not properly polished? Should I send it back to have it reworked?
Thanks.
