[QUOTE="Winkfish, post: 2104226, member: 98068"] I am using a Horady 7mm-08 full length die and I have developed an issue where within running just 5 pieces of brass through the die the expander is getting so coated with brass it is extremely difficlt to run the brass through it. The brass is brand new Laupua right out of the box. When I started the die looks like this: [ATTACH type="full"]248307[/ATTACH] After just 5 pieces of brass it looks like this: [ATTACH type="full"]248309[/ATTACH] If I use some 1000 grit sand paper on the expander and clean up it up I am able to run a 5-10 more pieces before it all loaded up with brass again. The Diameter of the ball is .283" [ATTACH type="full"]248310[/ATTACH] I have only had issues with these Hornady dies. All my other dies have never produced these brass deposits. I am wondering if anyone has had this issue before and could provide some input as to if I am doing something wrong or if I have a defect in the die. This is occuring on any brass type either new or just fired, Lapua, Federal and Hornady brass. This is all being done on a single stage press as well. Thank you, [/QUOTE]
