i tried adjusting it is far down as it goes with no change.
just wanted to say that i got the rcbs small base die set and the sizing die works great, so there was something wrong with the lee sizing die but i do prefer the lee seating die over the rcbs.
also i loaded my first 100 and took them out yesterday, didnt have 1 single problem with any of them through 3 AR's.
shot them through a mega, a dpms orcle and a suppressed dpms
i was using 55gr hornady fmjbt's, cci primers and varget powder.
10x 23.5gr
10x 24gr
and 80x 25gr
was having alot of problems with the lee beam scale i got so i dont know if those were perfect, i couldnt for the life of me keep it zeroed
the reason i made 80 of the 25's is because that was about the middle load so i was pretty sure they were gonna work well.
Varget is an extruded powder and doesn't meter well through any powder measure that relies on a slide, cylinder, or bushing to measure the charge. The electronic measures, where the powder is dispensed through a rotating tube, not unlike concrete being dispensed into a chute, don't have this problem. The other powders you mentioned are ball or spherical powders so they tend to flow better through the traditional measures.Congratulations good job. Maybe the scale problem is due to how Varget varys in a powder thrower? Varget is a great powder but it is one of the worst I have try ed for consistent metering.
The Hornady 55's your using are a much more
accurate than winchester or remmington FMJ 55s.
