Thanks for the replies here and by e-mail. Doc, no problem about the wrong handle

!

I have tested and found that the meager amount of lube I'd been accustomed to just didn't cut it. Once the brass was heavily coated, no "one-shot", turn and one shot again by the way, things improved. The dies required no adjustments, but the amount of pressure needed on the press still far exceeds what is required for commercial brass.

I also used a "probe" inside the cases to ensure that there were no cracks developing which could lead to seperations.
