Well just started using these Lee dies for the first time. Somewhat confused on a part of it all.


I bought the die set, got the additional .303 british expander stem and installed it before use.

A fired case lets a speer 150 grain TMJ .308 bullet linked here

Speer Ammo - TMJ Rifle Bullet - 308150TMJ

slide in, no resistance, no tensions to hold it. it has an easily seen gap between bullet and case mouth.

After running my empty cases through the die, the bullet DOES NOT fit into the case mouth. It behaves like it does with a fully resized .308 Winchester case.

Is this correct bullet fitment after the case goes through a .303 enfield expander rod made for .310-.311 bullets.

I DO plan on using this bullet with the 8 grains of Bulls Eye gallery/guard load by Harris.
