shots some rounds through my new .308 today. when i got home i went to deprime the rounds to start brass prep. couldnt get any of them to even run far enough into the die to deprime. tried them in a gauge and couldnt get them to fit in that either. is my chamber out of spec or is this normal?

You lubed the brass right,some take some force to resize and deprime.

Is it a small base die? Some chambers especially factory ones can be a little on the large size but seing as the brass sized with a little more lube I wouldn't worry.

What make is the barrel?
Use imperial sizing wax. I am going to guess its hornady spray lube currently ;) Fired brass generally won't fit in the gauge. |

Your die's decapping pin has to extend deep enough to push the primer completely out. Simply screw it down until it does.
As far as resizing is concerned, the die has to touch the shell holder in the full upward stroke plus 1/8 turn. The extra turn removes all the play in the press linkage. I never use small base dies, even though I own them. Standard dies work fine if properly adjusted. |

Have used it for tens of thousands of pieces of brass and never an issue. Only people I have seen have issues are people who are not using it correctly.  |

not a small base die. hornady match grade dies. ive come to the conclusion under lubing was my problem.

Could definitely be the issue. You will get the feel for how much is needed the more you do it.
