ams30gts Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 When I process 223 cases I get a lot of wobble when it indexes making the Lee Decapping Die occasionally miss the mouth of the case and destroying the decapping pin and piece of brass. Anyone have a fix for this? I have already tried a low density index ball and bearing on the shell plate. Nothing working as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burket Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ams30gts I am assuming a Dillion 550/650? Possibly look at tightening your shell plate. Be careful to allow it to move (index), but maybe it is too easy to move? Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played with the tension on the shell plate and I got it near the tightest it can go and still freely index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing working as of yet.Are you running faster than this? If not what shell plate are you using and how stable is your bench?

My bench is very sturdy. DIY with a bunch of 2x4 and its also bolted to the wall. I have a Dillon #3 shell plate as well as a GS Custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking the A2 Tool Steel shellplate from GS Tools on Ebay, contact them. They cut a bunch of .223 shell plates with the .40 S&W rim thickness. I just found that out today, as I'm having more wobble with the GS Tool shellplate than the Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I get wobble and crush case mouths on the swage back-up die. I've tried about everything, I may end up putting a large radius on the backup rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
