I guess I am somewhat of a bullhead. I was determined to not let this deal beat me. Well I won this tug of war ordeal.

I called up Mike Bellm at Bellm TC shop to discuss why the starline brass supposedly don't fit. After a week with checking my sizing process Mike help guide me in the right direction. Yes the starline brass is a tad bigger near the case head. This where the chamber issue comes into play. What i ended up doing was what Mike told me to do after I got the head space right.

I proceeded to remove the decapping pin and the internals from a lyman .444 die. I full length sized to the shell holder full stroke. According to Mike Bellm the lyman dies size smaller than the rcbs or redding dies. Also he said that the Lee sizing die is too short. Then I full length size the case with a the Lee sizing die after i passed it through the lyman die. Afterwards I was able to chamber the round.

Mike Bellm sent me the email with the full process. Yes it is a 2 die process only if you can't get your hands on some Remington. 444 brass. I will post the email so all can see and read to discuss. All I can say is that the brass works with no issues fellas.
