Ok, Here is my problem.
I am new to reloading the Grendel. I did my research and got good stuff. Lapua brass, I started with 130 Gr. Berger VLD's and now I am trying 100 Nosler BT. Here is what is happening to me.
When I go to seat the bullet the shell holder doesn't contact the die, there is a 1/8 inch gap plus you can feel it(kind of bottom out) If you continue to push down on the handle of the press I completely crush the shoulder of the round. It totally removes the shoulder.... Now I have been reloading for years( mostly bolt action rifles, in various calibers) my gear is all good.(I hope) I have a Lee press, Lee dies( the Grendel came from AA) All the cases are trimmed to the proper length. Plus they are new, not goten into using the fired brass yet. I have about 20 rounds reloaded and all of them do not touch. I have taken the dies out, cleaned them and reset them and it keeps doing it. Please help. Any advise is appricated.
Thanks
