[QUOTE="Laguna Freak, post: 1944586, member: 87188"] My Hornady Series I 30-06 Custom Grade FL sizing die seems to be getting sticky. This evening I cleaned it with 91% isopropyl alcohol and started de-capping and sizing twice fired RP and Frontier cases. The RP’s started getting sticky to the point that 1 got stuck and I had to take the die apart to get the case out. Cases were all cleaned and lightly lubed with one shot case sizing wax. When they started getting sticky, I sprayed one shot aerosol case lube inside the necks. I usually de-cap and size before cleaning. So, I’m wondering if cleaning first was the likely cause of the stuck case. Or do I need to change my process some other way that I’m not recognizing? Like, maybe I need to anneal first after the 2nd firing. ??? [/QUOTE]
