[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 797955, member: 39764"] Yes, the brass...lol Mine was all 13, every case but 2 and those were 556 of all things but then I didn't get the asphalted necks, I got the range brass. 4 out of 500 went in the scrap can along with my non-ferrous turnings. Those 4 stuck in the F/L die. I can 'feel' when they are about to stick but it's so easy to get them out I just give the press an additional push. So it rips the base off. No biggie. Incidentially, I always use Hornday 'One Shot' aresol case lube, again, with no issues. I use the bread bag mix method, a couple dozen cases in a ziplock bag, spray in some case lube and rock and roll the bag (closed of course) for 30 seconds, pour out, let sit for a minute and size. Not everyone has a hydraulic broach but I do so it's a simple matter of puching the expander/decapper rod out the bottom of the die with the case coming along and then chucking the case in a lathe and necking off the offending bottleneck and extracting the rod. never bought a stuck case tool. Don't need one. My cases were all over the spectrum diameter wise, some were obviously ignited in oversized chambers while others sized easaily. All mouths grew a bit, some 15 thou, most a lot less. I brought everything to 2.005 give or take 2 thou. Cut the crimps and countersunk the chamfer with a countersink, cleaned the pockets and the flash holes and relegated them to the shelf, primed, for later [/QUOTE]
