RUM brass sticking in dies

[450hunter]

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with RUM brass sticking in there dies. I have never had a stuck case before I started reloading for my 338 RUM. I now have had 3 stuck cases. My brass is Remington and I have been using Hornady Unique case lube. Also I have been using RCBS and Lee FL sizer dies.

I did a search on the Internet and found a couple people having issues with RUM brass sticking a lot but there was no answer on the issue/fix. Thanks in advance for any info/advice.

The first thing I would try is a different case lube. I like Hornady Unique for some things but I don't think it is the best lube for FL sizing large cases, especially if you have a chamber that is a little on the large side of specs.

I had this problem as well at one time. Turned out I wasn't using enough case lube. I use imperial sizing wax.

I agree with imperial sizing wax. 300 RUM cases have a lot of surface area. Imperial sizing wax is the thing to use. Never had a stuck RUN case with it.

Imperial Sizing Die wax here as well. Never a stuck 300 RUM.

I use Hornady Unique too and I've never stuck a RUM case. Try applying a little more lube. I doubt it's your dies.

Another vote for imperial, was using Lee case lube and stuck my first 300 rum case that I sized. Friend suggested imperial and have not had a stuck case yet.

I like Unique and Imperial both...dont see loads of difference. If Ihad to pure guess....Id say insufficient lube on the casings.

I have used Unique with great results but I will look for some Imperial also and give it a try just to see. I will also try putting a little more lube on the cases. I can honestly say out of 20+ years reloading I had never had a stuck case until my RUM.

I would like to thank everyone for there input/knowledge. It is great to be able to ask a large pool of people about different issues. Thanks again.
