I finally got the die adjusted correctly and the brass chambers nicely now. According to the RCBS die, You are supposed to go 1/8 to 1/4 turn further after the die contacts the shellholder. Well, 1/8 turn was not enough and 1/4 turn crushed the shoulder. Somewher in the middle of that I found the sweet spot. Needless to say the lockring on the die is very tight now

. I loaded up some rounds and I am excited to try this group again with the same charge and some others. Thank you for our help and thoughts everyone.
