[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 450183, member: 9215"] "...tried different types of lubes to no avail." Well, you don't tell us what lube you tried or how you're applying it but what you have is a lube problem, [U]not enough lube or insufficently covering the lower part of the case[/U]. Given a good lubing it's easy to reform large cases into smaller ones (I make .243 from .30-06) but without good lubing we can easily stick a case even in the "right" die. And stuck does happen, it's why they sell so many stuck case removers! Try Hornady's Unique or Redding's Imperial or Lee's case lubes. Apply them lightly but completely, using your finger tips, not a pad. It often takes a couple of partial in-out passes to get the inside of a clean die well lubed but after that it gets easy.
