Sticky Cases

[B.A.C.]

I run a Forster Co-Ax and Redding .308 Winchester dies. My problem is that the reloading process is not operating as smoothly as I think it should be. Below is a link to a video of what I'm experiencing. Hopefully someone can tell me if this is normal or not so that I will not damage my press or dies. Please excuse the poor video quality as this was made with a toaster oven.

Polish the expander ball..............or get a carbide expander button. Looks like you're using Redding dies, they make the carbide button you may need. JMO

lube the inside of the necks if you are going to use that style die

Didn't see any lube on the outside of the case or inside the necks. Lube em up man, get you some imperial sizing wax.

It's just the expander ball hanging up on the way out after sizing the neck. Smear a little imperial inside the neck on every fifth case or so. The carbide expander kit is really worth it also.

Lube is what you're missing. Everybody has that problem until they lube.

Imperial Dry Neck Lube with media works for me and no worries about powder contamination.
