Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Got my new die on Saturday and loaded up some sample rounds with Titegroup. Sadly due to the weather did not get out to the range until today. Success...why have I never heard of this die before. The Lee fcd works fine for me on all the straight wall ammo but if I get another bottle neck will also be getting the Redding die in that caliber. The test was a success until a case came apart and brought things to a screaming halt. Never had that happen before but after a bit of time on youtube found a fairly simple method to get that piece of the case free. Thanks again to all that suggested the die Hochbauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yes I always lube the cases when loading 44-40. But truthfully cannot say how few or how many times that piece of brass was previously loaded before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again to all that suggested the die Hochbauer Glad to hear you are enjoying the profile die. Did the case come apart in another die or the profile die? Never herd of that happening before unless it was in the sizing step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 I wish that it had come apart in one of the dies. It happened at the range 2nd to the last round in my rifle and was in the chamber. But all is well now and time to get some casting done and load up some ammo.
