Case touches sizeing die

#1 · February 18, 2020, 12:12 pm

I have a small problem thats annoys me.
At station #1 when case de-primes and sizes my case get the upstroke to stop.
It tilts very little outwards from center of shell plate.
I needs to gently push with my index finger to get it go into the sizeing die. It seems like the shell plate isn't tight enough on the rim to get the case standing straight.
Anyone got an solution?

Remove the shellplate bolt, and check for a crack in it just above the threaded portion.
When reinstalling, be sure the shellplate bolt is snug.

Thanks! Checked the bolt, no issues.
However, i did as follows:
When shellplate was away i loosened the 2 screws under shellplate and pushed the plate underneat a liitle bit clockwise as i saw earlier that the shellplate wasn't perfectly aligned with die.
The case hooked up att die mouth a liitle bit too the right, so after i pushed the internals a bit clockwise, the case now enters die perfect.

Best regards
