Anyone else have sizing dies that don't size as specified?
I have some Lyman's that do (or don't). Marked .429, sizes .4275-.428. A 452 that sizes .451. A buddy has a Star that is supposed to size .452, but averages .4505!
Do you think hardness of the bullet, or manufacturing tolerances are to blame?
I have had undersized Lee's too, but they are easily fixed by lapping. I'm afraid I'll create a mess if'n I try this with the Lyman's!
Anyone else have this trouble? I have verified these measurements with 2 micrometers and a Brown & Sharpe digital caliper. All QC verified, to make sure I'm not going nuts(er)!
