I've been having some issues with my 650 and wanted some outside opinions. Currently I'm running through a boatload of 223 brass to get it ready to tumble/prep. I'm using a Lee universal decapping die, and that's the only die in the toolhead. The issue is that the casings aren't lining up properly, and when I raise the ram, the case mouth is striking the fatter part of the decapping rod, and is causing damage that essentially ruins the case. I have to to go slow and manually maneuver the casing into the die.
I've gone fast, I've gone slow and everywhere in between and cannot get the issue to stop. I've adjusted the case insert ramp if the press, and occasionally it'll work for maybe 20 pieces of brass before I'm right back where I started.
I know it's something that I'm doing wrong, or something that I've adjusted wrong but I can't figure out what it is. I've seen tons of videos of people running their presses like greased lightening when decapping brass.
While I'm at it, the issue is the same no matter the die. Even when I'm loading (any caliber) I have the same issue. Raise the ram, and boom, like I've run into a brick wall and another piece of brass ruined. I set my toolheads up to Dillobs specs, I believe. Meaning I follow the instruction manual for toolhead setup.
Anyone have any insight? The decapping rod is new and has maybe 1000 pieces of brass on it, so I wouldn't think it's bent. At any rate, even if it was bent the case still doesn't line up right. I'm attaching pictures so you have something to go by.
Thanks everyone.
