[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 1368317, member: 24952"] Hey guys. I´m running into a lot of trouble reloading for my 6.5 GAP. I'm using hornady headstamped brass and whidden Gunworks dies for the task. The problem is I can't get the right amount of lube to get nice sized cases. I get a lot of dented shoulders consisten to excess lube but if I use a little less lube I get stuck cases on the sizing die. I loose 4-5 cases every time I reload a 50rd box. I'm not new to reloading and I've never had this problem with any other caliber. I don't know if it is a problem associated with the caliber itself, maybe the sizing die has something wrong or maybe there is something that has to do with the Squirrel S**t. I really hate dented cases and I hate stuck cases even more. I started using RCBS lube pad with RCBS lube. This was a dented shoulder nightmare, then I switched to Hornady one shot case lube and got a little less dented shoulders but still some of them. out of a 50 Rd box I get: 20-25 Dented shoulders 20-25 Perfect cases 4-5 stuck cases I´ve cleaned and degreased my die a couple times and it looked clean. I bought a hornady 6.5 Necksizer die to avoid resizing every time, but Saum cases are too wide to fit inside it. [/QUOTE]
