resizing on SDB
Quote from Reloader on November 2, 2011, 6:17 pmI set up my used but reconditioned SDB in 9mm last night and loaded 25 test round none of which would fit my case gauge. The brass appears to not be resized last 1/16" above the rim.
I had this problem with 45acps and lowered the sizing die on a single stage....it appears on the SDB that the deprime/sizer is fully in the tool head.
What do I check?
BTY the no BS warranty is great!

Put a fired piece of brass into station one, and pull the handle down. The bottom of the size die should fully contact the top of the shellplate. If it does not, then the friction plate requires replacement.

Everything is tightened, the new friction plate is drawn up completely on the tool head with no gaps.
Any suggestions?

The ejector wire should go behind the shellplate bolt and not across it. If the ejector wire goes across the shellplate bolt, then it gets sandwiched between the bottom of the size die and the top of the shellplate, preventing the die from bottoming out against the top of the shellplate.
Otherwise, phone or e-mail for a known new friction plate from us under warranty.
