Having problems loading 429 GNR for a Marlin 1894 conversion. I bought the dies from Gary and he built the rifle.tried to load and the bullets are so loose, I can apply light pressure and the bullet just falls in the case. I am using Starline brass and different bullet all with the same results. Talked to Gary today and went over all the possible issues with no fix. Gary thinks it could be the dies. Any guidance or tips would be appreciated. I am going to call Hornady tomorrow and then call Gary. thanks
