does anyone here know how I stop dies from crushing or not resizing 45 acp cases

I use lyman dies<7600208> and a wilson 45 acp gage but I cant get the cases to properly resize

where can I find a full length resizing die?
I shoot Springfield 1911 and Glock 21

Are you lubing the cases before sizing?

We use RCBS and not Lyman, but it sounds like a lube problem.

If you don't have carbide dies for straight-wall pistol cases, you MUST lube the cases. And make sure they're clean.

A possible secondary problem is that military brass is thicker than commercial. But I think it's a lube problem.

AR15.com will be a much better place to ask this question...

Carbide dies are worth far more than what you pay for them.

if that’s not a carbide die, go with RCBS or dillon dies.
check the die make sure you don’t have it set incorrectly. if its set too high, it won’t re-size, if its set too low, it’ll crush them.
also consider, if you’re lubing your cases, too much lube is just as bad as not enough. too much lube can cause denting or crushing.

Lots of well priced choices. Here’s a Lee 3 die w/ carbide sizer set for $26.

Current Lyman carbide die sets are numbered 768xxx, not 760xxx. Did you get an old die set (not carbide) from someone at a gun show or on the internet?
