[QUOTE="esshup, post: 607406, member: 11101"] Ryan: Couple of things. 1) What case lube are you using? If using a spray-on lube, are you waiting for the carrier to evaporate before resizing? 2) How old is the brass? 3) Is the brass clean before it sees the die? 4) Forgive me for asking this, but has anyone showed you how to resize/reload, and is this your first reloading experience? 5) Have used these dies before without problems? I have some OLD .257 Wby brass made by Speer. The shoulder on that brass is considerably different than the stuff you get today. I stuck my first case trying to resize some .45-70 brass that was probably 100 years old. It squeaked and squawked when going in the die, even with Imperial, and I eventually ripped the rim off one piece, sticking it in the die. I needed a LOT of pressure on the die to size them, while new once fired brass resized with 2 fingers. I think it had something to do with the age of the brass. [/QUOTE]
