first die set came in

[RonnieF]

Okay got the first die set today for my 44 mag. I was under the understanding that the shell holder should slide right in this one will not I dont want to force and hit it to get it in there. Idk why its so tight or is it supose to be. Was gonna get some blueing to see where its rubbing at.

I know first time trying and already a problem with something easy I just dont wanna force anything till I know forshure it supose to go that hard

[RonnieF]

the shell holder that goes into the press it doesnt just freely slide its like it hangs up 3/4 way in

 

[RonnieF]

Nevermind got it supose to be tight

It really shouldn't be "tight". It should have little slop, but turn freely and not require any real force to insert or remove from the top of the ram on your RockChucker. Maybe a little lubricant is indicated, or perhaps some emery cloth around the shell holder base?

 

[Double T]

are you using the right shellholder for the press? Some presses require "their brand" shellholders.

Mine slides in and out sort of tight, but turns so I can change loading sides easily.

I had a Lee .45acp die set with shellholder that did that. I literally had to use a pair of pliers (that were protected with black tape) to lock it in. After a few uses, it loosened right up.

Yes I im going to keep all my dies the same brand as what I have. I believe some cloth is needed gonna work with it tomorrow. Thanks for everyones help Ill let you know how it goes because i believe a person would have to have a ball pean hammer.
