[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 373341, member: 9215"] "As long as the die stays warm, and brass is just out of my fingers warm and it works.(it has not been above 53 degrees or colder than -10 below 0 in my garage where I load since I set up my equipment)" Oh, my goodness! That's COLD! Never mind my cases and dies, my old FINGERS snap and crack in those temps...things will get a LOT better when it warms up. Let me suggest a couple of changes in what it seems you are doing. As you have found, it's not good to pre-lube your cases with wax in those temps. Instead, lube each one by tapping your finger tips in the Imperial and then rubbing the case immediately before sizing. (Thats what I do all the time) And get yourself an LP gas radiant heater for your loading area, that's what I do. Mine is a moderately inexpensive unit that I got from Lowes a few years back, it screws directly to the valve of a tank and the tank serves as a stand for it. [/QUOTE]
