I've been reloading pistol cartridges for about a year now with a single stage and can comfortably load 60 or more per hour. However, I'm really new to rifle reloading and having some problems with the depriming/resizing step.
First, I've had to slow down to a crawl. I've found that my reloading is really slow due to lubing cases. Are progressives that much faster for rifle reloading, too?
Second, my new die set (308) isn't resizing the brass, so the bullet won't fit. I'm used to depriming with one die and resizing with another for pistols, but the rifle dies don't have that option.
Can anyone suggest troubleshooting for that problem?
