Casing not fitting into sizing die

We are newbies at reloading and have ran into an issue/problem.  The casing will not fit into the sizing die.  It bends the mouth of the case.  No where close for the depriming pen to knock out primer.  Case fits easily in case gage.  Please help.  Thank you.

Are you pushing the lever all the way forward (as in seating the primer)? If you don't push it past it's natural bottom position the case is not inserted all the way into the shell holder and will hit the edge of the sizing die. 

Thank you so much for your help.  We went to a gun store here in town and asked this question and the guy was very rude.  We appreciate you helping us.  Hope you have a great day.  🙂

I ran into this before to when I first started loading on my 650. You have to get a full forward press on the handle to properly seat the new case in the shell holder.

You need to be "Pushy" to own and operate a Dillon (Grin)
