I'm trying to adjust my new RCBS LAM2 and am so far having no luck. When I size and lube, I get lube squirting up onto the bullet's ogive (picture 1). I'd think this is because I'm pushing my bullet too deep into the sizing die. But, I've adjusted the press to it's absolute minimum depth (picture 2). Also, I noticed that the crimp groove immediately flows into the start of the ogive, so, if the seating depth isn't PERFECT, the squirted lube will happen. The bullet is a Lee 452-200-RF.
There is a gap between the nut that holds the sizing die in (die is a Lyman .452"). Is that normal (picture 3)?
Another problem is that the size and lubed bullet is about 50% exposed at the end of the upstroke. Is that normal (picture 4)?
