Anyone use these? I ordered one to re-size the bulge in my 264 brass... but am having problems pulling the case out of mine once it's up and inside. I'm using RCBS case lube, & definitely not shorting on the lube* Cases go "in" nicely, yet it's a nightmare pulling them out ??? Are they supposed to be so difficult to pull out?
Case-head edges are getting bent from the force needed to pull them out, and the few I put through it have become useless afterward anyway... really not impressed so far. Figured I'd post to see what others' experiences have been with "theirs" before I make the call to shelf the thing & start fresh with new brass.. sad part of it is that the brass I'm sizing has only been fired twice! Now being loaded the 3rd time. (They been full length sized each time too*) Bumped 2-3 thou in my factory chamber, 1-2 thou in a custom-chambered barrel. My FL die is set within a 1/16th or so of the belt when the shell is up & inside the die and the ram at the top, the die where it is-is giving the 1-2thou shoulder-bump, so headspace there is good...
How can I make those cases easier to re-move from Larry's Dies, and avoid bending the case-head edges? I am puzzled and frustrated. Would greatly appreciate some feedback from anyone regularily-using these dies
