Problems loading Privi 6.5 Carcano brass

[jmoore]

I can get a custom plug for about $14, but that is a pain in the wallet. I read that polishing the plug might help, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that.

If you've a drill press, clamp the spindle in the chuck and carefully locate a bullet under it whilst being held upright in a collet or some such- even the "v" groove in a vise ought to do. Then coat the bullet in some valve grinding paste and "go to town". It may tke more than one bullet to do a good job. Whilst the spindle is out of the die, it would make sense to ensure that the 0.267" Hornady bullets don't get stuck in the die as Patrick Chadwick suggests. I suspect they won't, but...

Way past bedtime jmoore! It was actually Parashooter. He may well be right, and the Lee dies are cheap enough to be adapted in this way.

Ooops! Too early, actually. Couple of 12 hour workdays and look what happens...

Sorry, Parashooter!
