I just got done resizing and decapping 1k .223 cases. I sorted it all and just did the remington and winchester cases first. I am using a dillon 650 with a Hornady full length die. I am also using hornady one shot lube and have made sure cases were properly lubed. The brass is range pick up and 100% visual inspection weeded out all suspect cases.
Here is my question: out of the 1k cases I had 6 get badly stuck to where I had to drill and tap to get them out. Is this normal? Is there another check you pros do when processing? I did tumble the brass before resizing mostly because I wanted a better look at the brass before I used it. I got through it but it is quite a pain to stop to remove the stuck case. Ideas? |

Quoted: I was hoping it was something simple like lube type. Has anyone ever tried "die release" I used to work in manufacturing and that was used on the dies in 700 ton presses What kind of die lube? If you are talking about the milky white stuff used for stamping sheet metal, it will work just fine. Snag a cup and you can do thousands. For the record, wire pulling lube has been used. I hate the oily crap as it is messy and makes me drop cases. The water-borne lubes like industrial deep drawing lubes are GREAT. |
