[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1946376, member: 107384"] I don't think isopropyl alcohol is a good cleaner for some things and could have left a sticky coating inside the die. What lube were you using before things got sticky? I'd get some Ronsonol lighter fluid clean your die with that. That's a better solvent for greases and stuff than IPA is. Also your issue illustrates why you're better off to deprime separately and resize with out an expander. You could tap/work the shellholder out of the press ram and insert a bolt thru the top of the die and tap the case loose. [/QUOTE]
