.475 to wide go down to .470-.471 and try again

[Frozenguy]

.452 After decap and resize
.485 After powder moving into sizing
.475 After crimp

.475 is too wide to fit in my SA XD 45 barrel. I had to go down to 0.470

Screw the crimp die further down until you measure maybe 0.470.

Then with the shell plate up and a round 'being crimped' tighten the lock ring down. Then double check a few rounds and make sure they are popping out at 0.470 or something similar that does fit.

I was having problems with some of my rounds fitting the case gauge ok but would still stick in the chamber of one of my guns. I reset the sizing die to (as stated above) just kiss the shell plate and problem solved. I thought I had it right the first time following the Dillon manual but after talking with some other re-loaders that use the same press I made the adjustment and all is well.

I always size then check with a case gauge several times through the process. For pistol I use a Dillon, LE Wilson for necked brass. I haven't had an issue of a case not chambering after proper sizing and case gauge measurement.
