Thanks for the replies. I see the crimp removal being an inevitable part of reloading brass in this caliber due to the main supply being old military stuff. As far as the sizing operation, the Lee die is a full length one that I've adjusted as far down as my shellholder (on my single-stage) and shellplate (on my progressive press) will allow me. I've been reading about different case gauges all morning and think this is probably the best route to go. Then based on the results, look at a different full-length sizing die to get the job done. I'll post an update when I receive my case gauge. Thanks again.
