Good grief it was one of those just walk away moments. All I wanted to do was seat the 102gr 9mm Lee 356-102-1R to 1.070 and see how those went in the barrel for my pistol. So I flared the cases to where the boolits would drop in, went to set up the Lee seating die per the instructions. Used a 9mm Winchester case and screwed it in until I couldn't and then set the bullet seating depth. What I think happened was it was crimping before seating. Anyways the boolit got stuck in the die each time. It was hot in the building and what should have been 5 minutes turned into 30 minutes of frustration and I walked away getting no where.
I've never had much luck with the seating AND crimping die and this leads me to the question as to if I should just use it as a seating die and get a Lee 9mm FCD? Or should I try and make this way work? Right now $27 for less frustration looks good.
