[QUOTE="BillR, post: 390660, member: 462"] When you spray on the commercial lubes like the instructions say and it works on commercial brass and then do the same procedure for this brass and it sticks there is something wrong. I even tried the pad lubes that I could find and ended up with the same thing. Stuck cases. Never stuck a single case with this mix. Not even after I put the decapping pin back in and FL sized like I normally do. Something is going on and I'm not sure what but what it appeared to me to be happening was the case was bulged out along the case body enough that as the case entered the die it would wipe off the lube as it entered the die. The MIX did not do that and was stuck to the case enough that even when it wiped off most of it the remainder slid in and lubed the surface enough to keep it from sticking. Something the other lubes were not able to do. I also found that the case only needed a light coat as really smearing it on did not seem to make any difference. I really don't know the what or why of it, all I know is the what the results were. By posting this results I thought maybe the next person trying to do the same thing might benefit from what I went through and save the brass rather than giving up and throwing it away. [/QUOTE]
