We just tried or first reloads for .41 mag pistol on a Dillon 550 w/ Dillon dies.

The resizing die was tough as hell to cycle (compared to .45 & 9mm). All the .41 mag brass was once-fired factory, reasonably well polished. Do factory .41 mag cases swell so much they require brute force to resize, or should we consider the die set may be slightly imperfect? I bought the high-dollar carbide dies so I wouldn't have to fool with any messy lubes; I'm determined not to cave in and use lube.

According to our calipers, the sized cases were .001-2 under the spec shown in a Lyman #47 handbook.

I do plan to call Dillon & quiz them, but I wanted to ask here as well.

PS: I only hope that someday I can contribute 1/2 as much knowledge as I 've aquired on these forums!
