I am sizing some 22-250 rem. shells. I am using a Redding FL sizer die with a single state RCBS press with a RCBS #3 shell holder. I load several other rifle and straight wall cases. I have never run in to this problem. I am getting bent rims on the case neck. I have to wiggle the brass to make sure it does not catch on the botton of the expander ball and dent the rim. The shell holder #3, according to the chart is correct. Usually, my brass while sitting on the ram raises nearly straight and enters the die with no problem. Any ideas?
