Well now after buying the RCBS neck sizing die I was able to go back and use the Lee full sizer and re-size all my 7.7's. I re-adjusted the decapping pin. I guess the problem was that I had it a bit ... |

I got my RCBS neck sizer in and my brass is now ready to re-load. The neck sizing operation did not feel like it put a lot of work on the brass which is good. Cartridge length is perfect too. All I ... |

I found a neck sizing die for 7.7. RCBS makes it. If you are in the market for one they are on sale at Midway for $20. I hope this will solve my sizing problems so I can get on with reloading and s ... |
