223 reloading Error question

[MrRobot]

Hello all,

Hope everyone is well and enjoying this weather we are having... This weekend I decided to start reloading a couple brass I wanted to test from my last shooting day. I had some brass that I had prep in my Lee single stage press. I since them upgraded to the Forster press. Love how smooth it runs and much easy to change out the dies. From my notes I missed 1 steps that I didn't write down until I started to research what I did wrong.

I loaded about 20 rounds. I pulled out my Lyman ammo checker and to my surprise I had 9 round sticking way to hight. Below are the picture I took of one. The one step I missed was after resizing the brass I didn't check them with my Wilson case gage. I notice the same round a little high in the gage.

My question is . Is that the reason why it's so high in the ammo checker because of the small case gage issue? Just wanted to get some feedback and see if that was the issue.

It looks like you didn't do a full-length resize, and instead just did neck sizing. That might explain why the Forster press worked so smoothly (although it should work more smoothly than the Lee). I can't explain why the two gauges are different.

Wilson gauge doesn't check body size, just head space. FL size them!
