Lucreau Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Loading 9 major on an xl650. Getting 3-6 rounds per 100 that fail my hundo case and fail a chamber check. Tried maxing out my undersized die and marked some brass with sharpie to see how deep down the sizing was happening and it’s stopping about 1/4” from the case head. Is this normal for the U-die to not size the whole case? Or do I need to look at a different die http://i65.tinypic.com/1zva1pk.jpg[/IMG] Edited May 9, 2019 by Lucreau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the die adjusted down to where it just kisses an empty shell plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s adjusted all the way down to allow the shell plate to still cycle all the way up a the stroke of the handle. Any lower and the handle doesn’t bottom out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) If the shell plate is tight . If the size die is screwed in till it makes contact with shell plate. There is something wrong with the die. ( IF) Try screwing the die it till a very slight cam over is felt. Edited May 10, 2019 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucreau Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Just backed off the die, cycles the handle all the way down and screwed the die down to where it’s just kissing the empty plate. Still getting the same results with it only sizing a little over half the case. Should I e mail EGW and see if it’s a defected die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Try a different sizing die if you have one.. Thats definitely a problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Stupid question, but did you check the inside of the U-die on the pin. I somehow twice have had a .22 case pierced by the pin blocking the case from seating correctly. Range brass, must have been stuck inside one of the 9mm cases. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
