[QUOTE="GuroChris, post: 2579748, member: 113578"] I finally got all the components I needed to get some precision hunting ammo loaded, but I ran into a snag. I got a new set of Redding S type dies. I cleaned out the dies when i tried to use them the reassembled minus the sizer ball. I had a couple of twice fired cases to use for trying this new set up out. I cleaned and lubed the cases in my normal fashion. When I tried to run the first case through the die it felt like I needed a lot of effort to get it to go all the way into the die. When I tried to lower the ram, the case was stuck in the die. It took some effort to get the stuck case out. After the case was out I went back through and cleaned and inspected the die and bushing for scratches or burrs. None were found. After I got it all ready to go for another try I tried a different lube on the case. The first attempt was using Hornady One Shot, which I have used without problems in the past. The second case was lubed with an RCBS case pad and gel lube. As I raised the ram to size the case it felt exactly the same as the first attempt so I stopped before the case was all the way into the die. Fortunately it didn't get stuck. I've never used Bushing Dies before and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
