I have set up, and loaded both .38spl and .357 Magnum with my first Lee Deluxe Die set purchased.
Now, after buying another "set", I am having trouble adjusting the bullet seating die to run the .357's? My 2 dies, do have a different number stamped on the side. My first one says K6 and the new one says B7, is that just a run identification, or something more significant?
After touching the Ram, then backing out 3 full turns, I can't seem to use the adjusting screw to get the right bullet seat. Why is one die working fine when adjusted, and this one not?
