Hi All,
I have a Star sizer and I'm having some issues. I'm casting Lee 452-228-1r and they are dropping at .454 and sizing them to .452.
I'm using Rooster Zambini lube heated of course. The problem I'm having is at about the 20th bullet, the press will become difficult to size and I'm forced to remove the die and punch out the stuck bullets. The bullets that do go through are being lubed correctly in both bands and look good. The bullets are going through the die base first by the way.
Another observation is that there will be "scratches" on the bullts that line up with the lube holes of the die. Not sure what may be causing this either. of the three lube rows, the lower two are open and the upper one have shot in place.
Do you guys think I'm sizing to big of a bullet or could it be something else?
I'm out of ideas at this point.
Thanks for any insight and guidance!
