[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4180404, member: 15054"] Terrible. Thankfully I never stuck a case. I am curious though as to what your lube is and how it is applied. I have always used a waxy type lube. Imperial. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1702424889803.png"]436821[/ATTACH] Or Hornady. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1702424934172.png"]436822[/ATTACH] Applied with my fingers. I did get to try some spray on case lube that stated let it dry. There was way more force needed to size a case. Tried it after letting it dry and tried it wet and no difference really it was still a bear to size cases compared to the above 2 waxes. I lube the entire case down to the case head and a tick inside the case neck. It all gets removed after sizing. I tried that Dry neck lube kit.. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1702425128552.png"]436824[/ATTACH] I did not like the added force to size cases with it either and pretty sure I gave it away. I am curious every time I hear of a stuck case as to what lube regimen was used. I removed a case by making 1/4-20 threaded hole in the case and threading in some all thread and ran a jam nut up to the case. Then got vise grips and clamped to the all thread and whacked the vise grips with a hammer to remove the stuck case. I may have heated the die just a bit and I did add some spray lube into the die also. Got it out and it was really stuck. I have found if I reload in the hot sun the die actually expands a smidge and I can't set my shoulders back in a certain 308 die. When cold I could set them back .008" so there is some growth when a die is warm. Warm and not hot to the point you can't hold it. I did nothing in the reloading room today. Making cedar and oak benches this week. [/QUOTE]
