Above all let HOS dry before attempting to size cases.
Remove the decapping rod and lightly polish the expander.

i can't find a picture of this on the web currently.
the neck of the brass is stuck on the ex pander ball. if i try the last part of the sizing the stem threads act as if they are stripped or not threaded enough (this is the 2nd time i've used this reloading die)
i can unscrew the TOP and pull the stem through, but this doesn't get the case removed from the expander ball. i will probably end up damaging the case trying to remove it
i have used this process for years, the directions tell you to spray just slightly within the die before reloading and of course the brass. which i did properly.. but HOS still is def not my favorite lube!
