I have a Lee carbide 4 die set for .44spec/.44mag I got for a gift. Lately I have been using some .4295" and .430" jacketed bullets. Well I have notice the case has next to no tension (press fit) with the bullet. Right out of the sizing die I can start the bullet with my fingers and push it into the case without much force. The .4295" bullets obviously slide in just a tad easier than the .430". The .4295" is 250gr Sierra and the .430" are 240gr XTPs. Does the same thing with Starline or RP brass.(only 2 brands I have)
Anyone else have this issue?
I ran into this with a Lee carbide set in .380 which Lee said was "within spec" but 90-95gr jacketed bullets still slid in easy. I ended up buying a U die for .380. I am starting to think Lee sizes some of their dies for cast bullets and not jacketed.
