[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 487019, member: 2740"] Your chamber might be on the bigger end of the tolerance range and your die might be on the smaller end of the tolerance range. And you might not have had sufficient lube. Add those all together and you get stuck cases. The problem is usually solved by using a good lube like Imperial Sizing Wax. If you encounter more than usual resistance when resizing, stop and withdraw the case from the die without shoving it in any further. Try adding a little more lube and run it in again. Remember, it is easy to apply a lot of force running the case into the die but brass is fairly maleable so the case rim is the weak link when trying to pull a case out of the die. Don't ask me how I learned any of this stuff.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
