[QUOTE="Harley1953, post: 1725983, member: 5145"] The first time it stuck it was all the way in and took HUGE amounts of leverage of the press arm to get it back out......... Second time it did it, I had done two cases and it started to stick about 1/2 way up.... To add to original post info..... These are remington cases I got from another OSA member( so I am not sure what type of firearm they were fired)that I trimmed to just over minimum overall length per Hornady manual.... I then took the deburr tool and gave it five or six turns inside and out on the case mouth to rmove the brass burrs. Second time it stuck, after I took the die apart again to lube it, I took a cue tip and sprayed the Hornady lube on it. I then took the cue tip and swabbed the inside of the neck on the cases thinking the problem was as you mentioned hanging up on the neck sizing ball..... Still got two or three cases and then could not get the next case to go all the way up.... Might be a good idea to do the steel wool thing as these are pretty old lyman dies my friend gave me..... I think he said that he had had them for about 25 years but had not used them in about 10...... Thanks to all for the responses.... [/QUOTE]
