Topic: Case stuck in sizing die

[NGO]

I use the RCBS lube pad....gone thru 5 tubes of lube in the last two years...

The only time it sticks has been when I didn't use enough lube and that was after washing the pad off a couple of times.

Total stuck cases has been three. my fault on those.

I like the pad method, makes me not only look at each case but also allows me to feel the one more time. I have found a couple with cracks that did show up with just a look, but when I felt "something" different when I was rolling it along.


I'm not in a hurry to load as many as possible when I reload. I don't want any problems. My kids use my reloads so I' want to be extra careful with each one. And if that means it takes 10% longer to reload, so be it.

I like the pad cuz it keeps the lube below the shoulder where it belongs. I tumble afterwords to remove lube but I see no reason to get lube inside cases if at all possible. The sprays seem kinda indiscriminate.

Me too! I'm surprised that you haven't gone over to the aerosol side though with your fancy Dillon progressive. Doesn't the pad slow down your mass production? Who resurrected this thread anyways?

Hehe whoops.
