[QUOTE="Reloader222, post: 836160, member: 25295"] I have size Winchester nickle plated cases in .270Win calibre in Hornady and Lyman FL dies and must agree this was an effort. Ended up in the end with dents [B]below [/B]the shoulders in nearly 40% of the cases. The squeese was too much. I can never throw away cases. So I bumped out the dents with a minimum load and 110gr Sierra Pro Hunter Bullets. I did not want to use my Redding die set for the reason that it has no vent hole on the sholder and I was affraid of damaging it. So I went to buy a FL Foster die..... I used Redding Wax as with all the other dies above and have also lubed the insides of the necks by dipping the cases in the wax and then wiping off the excess wax on the outside. INCREDIBLE FOSTER!!, NO DENTS and it SIZE WITH EASE!!! I know I would only get a few reloads from the nickle plated cases before they start to give problems, but at least I have a few uses from the 80 cases. To further prolong the usage of these case I will only necksize them in future. [/QUOTE]
