[QUOTE="mechengr, post: 1353661, member: 75894"] Are you lubricating the outside of the case necks as well? Is this a new die set? How rough is the expander ball? In the one Hornady die set I have the expander had visible machining marks. I chucked the stem into a drill and spun it in a cloth that was loaded with polishing compound. Polishing the expander made a world of difference in the consistency and amount of effort required to pull the case back through. Could it possibly be inconsistent annealing from case to case as well? [/QUOTE]
