About that post on Lee reloading stuff,

right now I've got a Lee .308 loading die set which brought it up, because I needed to adjust the depth of the decapping/expanding pin, and it would not stay in place after that.  Same thing that happened once before: make sure the pin is clean of any lube, same for the collet nut, but no matter how hard you tightened it down, it would not stay.

This included scrubbing them with degreaser, and then using sandpaper to roughen the surfaces, didn't work.

That time before(no, I can't remember what die set, years back) I wound up getting a new pin and nut, made sure they were clean, and that sucker locked down no problem.  So I'll try it again and see what happens.
