Interesting. I just FL size 308 commercial brass in my 358 FL sizer, prime, powder charge and seat a 250 gr cast NOE RN. I seat them to jam about .010" and fire them. Have yet to lose a case in 40...

I am sooooooooo close to success! I have all the pins and clippies set. I just cannot get the mold halves to separate once I closed the mold.

No instructions included in the shipping box. Can someone post them...
