Hoping I can get some help with this issue I'm running into. I am very close to having my Dillon XL650 set up to load .308 Win. I am using a Dillon 3pc die set, full length size die, 150gr fmjs of unknown mfg purchased from Wideners, and once fired Magtech brass.
I set up my size/decap die using a case gauge and the brass falls within spec, but now that I am trying to adjust my seating die I cannot achieve the minimum OAL (2.800) as listed in both my Nosler and Lee manuals. I am getting a little over 2.742 and if I back the seater out any further the bullet will not seat.
I fully expect this to be some sort of error on my part, can anyone point it out to me?
