[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1016755, member: 313"] Just another idea but how difficult is it to pull the expander ball back up through the necks when resizing? I ask because it is possible to pull the shoulders slightly forward when dragging the expander ball up through the neck. If this happens your cases will be hard to chamber. Guess how I know. :D I'd suggest cleaning the inside of your necks with a drill mounted brass brush that has a bit of 0000 steel wool wrapped around it. A worn out cleaning brush of the correct size works great. Using a little Imperial Sizing Wax on a q-tip to lube the neck before sizing will result in a noticeable reduction in drag on the expander ball. This info was suggested by Sinclair International when I was experiencing a problem similar to yours. It is not "necessary" to remove the lube after sizing. Sinclair told me they "shoot it out". If it bothered you than a q-tip with alcohol should do the trick. Just something else for you to explore - Good luck. [/QUOTE]
