[QUOTE="jimbires, post: 2268269, member: 11011"] I had some problems using it . it wasn't as slippy as the RCBS lube on a pad . someone else mentioned the case sizing wax , I've used that with good results too . the problem with a poor lube is it will allow enough resistance the brass case won't go in the die the same distance every time . causing varying lengths . I see you are adjusting the die as the instructions call for . this should be solid contact between the die and shellholder . you can easily watch for this poor lube condition . every time you size a case watch for a slight gap between the full length die and the shellholder at the top of the stroke . if these gap apart any at all that piece of brass will be longer . if you want to size your brass for your rifle . you want to use the neck die now . use it until you get a little tightness closing the bolt . then adjust the die for about .002" shoulder bump . we can explain this more , better , if you want . I don't know how far along you are in reloading , and don't want to confuse you . [/QUOTE]
