I'm loading mine on my Dillon 550B so I don't have the Autodrum. Does it have any kind of height adjustment to allow it not to push so deep in the neck?

If I back it way off to get the proper flare it wont drop the powder. I'm lost. May have to call Lee.

With the .357 SIG it doesn't need much flare. I'd call LEE and see what they recommend. Wish I could help, but I'm not familiar with the Autodrum. I use lots of LEE products and never had the first complaint, but unfortunately the Autodrum isn't one I've tried.

Found out that the spring is to strong for 357 Sig. So I'll have to load them using the Lee perfect powder measure. Gonna be slow unfortunately, but I'm in no hurry.

Could you maybe use a different spring to ease up the tension?

Yes, but trying to find a lighter spring is the issue. I'm waiting to hear back from Lee about this. For now I'll load them using the Lee perfect powder measure.

Got the 124gr xtreme loaded today with AA #9. Had issues with set back using R-P cases even with heavy crimp. I decided to only use Speer cases. Zero set back with Speer cases. Not sure what is up with that. Gonna load Gold dots tomorrow using Speer nickel and long shot.

Never had that issue with R-P cases. We're they overflared possibly?

No I barely had any flare. They would set back about 5 thousands after chambered in the 32. Probably could use heavier crimp, but I prefer not to.
