Has anyone tried using the RT-1200 trimmer on Nato LC stamped 7.62x51 brass? I've de-primed and re-sized the brass with a Lee .308 die & swaged the pocket with my 600. When I try to insert the case into the .308 trimmer die it will not allow the neck of the case to enter the top of the die to be trimmed. I've tried several cases and all of them would stop when the lip of the case entered the neck hole. So I tried lubing the case, but it ended up getting stuck in the die (and it will not come out). Has any one run into this problem?

Thanks

Edit: The cases go into the Dillon .308 die just fine. I'm wondering if there's a serious issue with this trimmer die.
