I've used a LCD on 1x+ 204R cases and only lost a couple cases when setting the die up. Now I have a LCD for 22/250, and set it up per the directions for a LEE single stage press.
The 22/250 brass is new, never fired, just wanted/needed to straighten out the necks (dings & flat spots) and then trim/chamfer (Winc brass). I was not feeling any resistance when raising the ram at the very top of the stroke but the neck opening was as it should be (round/even). I "tested" a few of the new cases that did not have dinged up necks with a 22 cal bullet, and always got a good tight fit just using my fingers to seat the bullet before I used the LCD.
Just wondering if it's normal to not feel any resistance when using the LCD on new brass like one does when re-sizing fired brass??
