OK guys, I have to tattle on myself (besides, I think y'all will get a chuckle out of this). I was out in the garage this morning, setting up to load some cast bullet ammo for this 6.5x55 carbine. I put the .266" sizer die in the lube-sizer, installed the nose punch for the 266469, then located the Ziploc bag of 266469s and the can of Hornady GCs (yeah, I have some OLD GCs in my supply...). I went to run the first bullet down, so I could adjust the stop on the lube-sizer, and I just could not get the bullet to center in the nose punch. I fiddled with it for a while with no luck, and then the lightbulb lit up over my head. The studs on the back of nose punches are typically about .260" (but can vary widely, I have some as small as .250" and some as large as .265"), and the 469 nose punch runs about .250". Yup, you guessed it, I put the nose punch in upside-down. I removed the nose punch, installed it properly, and the rest of the loading process took place uneventfully.....
