I use both the Hornady & Lyman spray on lubes for rifle now and haven't had "any" problems at all.
Plus it's a whole lot easier. You might try them.

would h&h have the hornady lube or do you get yours online? seems i could use a little more of the rcbs when i needed to but the dillon just "feels" really tight even if i just use a tiny amount. i resorted to spraying it on my fingers and just wiping the case down with no luck.

I love the Dillon type case lube and make my own and have never stuck a case with it!!
Put the cases in a ziploc bag then add 4-5 squrts of the dillion lube then roll the bag around in your
hands, dump them out on cookie sheet or wax paper to dry for 4-5 minutes.

A note: if your sticking cases with dillion case lube your not using enough, but you can use too much
and dent the shoulders.

Used RCBS for years with never a problem. Started using Hornady One Shot and love it.
Haven't used the Dillon, but my guess would be not enough lube.
