[QUOTE="winmag, post: 373133, member: 22166"] I had almost the exact same problemb with my Redding F/L die, and .270WSM, with Redding sizing wax. Heres what worked for me; 1. Being relitavely new to hand loading, I recived lots of warnings to go light on case lube. However I had to apply a large quantity of wax to the case with my fingers, and had to de-cap and resize while the wax was still warm from rubbing it on. If not warm it does more harm than good to the brass when sizing. 2.After applying such massive quantitys to the brass I found out that when the die cools down, you need to clean it again, due to wax build up that gets cold and dimpels the shoulder the next time you use the die.(precisley what I was warned about with excess lube). I found that there is deffinately an art to using wax, but once you figure it out its a nice product to use. Also keep your dies clean and/or warm. I like my Redding die and Redding wax, but it still gives me fits this time of year in the garage. [/QUOTE]
