Seems to me little resistense. There is a .025" gap between the shell holder and the bottom of the die where the shoulder of the case is making contact in the die because of the longer chamber in my barrel. Then I adjusted the die up around .005" so I could resize most of the neck.
When I was trouble shooting...I turned the die down about 1/2 turn...die was then touching shell holder....ran a case into the die from there and the same result. Loose bullet. Anyway...I am concerned about head space when I have the die adjusted down that far......

Could to much case lube on the inside of the neck cause this problem? I run all my brass in a tumbler after sizing. Like I said though ...I am going to get some dies made for my chamber dimensions so the elliminate some the this guess work......

Thanks for the reply......
