[QUOTE="Harley1953, post: 1725897, member: 5145"] I have been reloading for a couple of years but only straight walled pistol cases. I decided finally to start loading some .308 win rifle cases. My problem is this. When sizing/ depriming cases I can only do two or three pieces of brass before my RCBS rock chucker using older Lyman dies tries to stick the case to the point that my wife and I both have to really get on the actuator arm of the press to get it back out. I have tumble cleaned the cases and then used Hornady spray lube on the cases standing them upright in the loading block. I make one pass at about 45 degree angle about 6" from cases and turn the block 180 degrees and spray again to make sure I get lube on each side of the case. I have disassembled the lyman decapping die and spray the hornady lube on the die components as this is an old die set that was given to me. I let all these dry a few minutes and start sizing/depriming.... As mentioned I can get two or three cases done and then can do no more before they want to stick in the die. I can take the die apart again and clean/lube it with the Hornady spray lube and then get a few more before they stick again. Since this is my first attempt at rifle cases, I am sure I am probably doing something incorrectly.. [/QUOTE]
