Stuck cases

[milboltnut]

Thanks Was thinking Stuck case, we'll grab the removal kit. Then it was still on the mandrel never thought about that getting stuck in there as well

It happened to me once and after that I made sure I brushed in side of the neck, no issues since.

and it's very tedious to do it. My neck mandrels get Unique, and if I size alot of cases I wouldn't use Unique or imperial or Burts bees it would be RCBS on a brush. Unique and Bees seems to be the slickest and have the least resistance so far. I really don't like to work that hard on the press lever.

I just tried lanolin in case necks over mandrel, works well, just as well as unique and bees.

Thanks about Lanolin as I have some and feel it will combat cold weld that can happen.
I love this site.

I had it happen once to a few cases in a bunch but not since then. Mystery

one stuck, hate the stuff... use hornady paste or case lube2 and forget the spray crap...

One Shot works fine on pistol cases.But I'd stay away from it on larger rifle cases.It may work on a 223 Rem .

Work's just great if you follow the directions.

I use it for everything from .204 Ruger through 300 Rum, 375 Ruger and wildcats based off of the Ruger.

I'm sure everyone has their favorite case lube and their least favorite case lube.
Some people like that are usually pressed for time or just get in a hurry like the Hornady Spray One Shot.
For me, I like reloading almost as must as shooting..I said ALMOST.
Some use lanolin and alcohol mix.like Dillon D.C.L..Ive used it But it can get real pasty up you get sidetracked and don't get to finish out sizing cases.Unless you k eep them in a big baggie.
IWhen I first started reloading I got one stuck and panicked and bought Forster High Pressure Case Lube.A little goes a Long Ways.I then bought RCBS Resizing Case Lube and and a few lubricating/sizing dies..Then a Couple Case Lube Pads..They are still new.Never used either Hornady or the RCBS .
Which brings me back to Hornady Unique Case Lbe and Imperial Dry Neck Lube..which I mainly use.

You're either extremely lucky or extremely good...or both. Congratulations either way.As long as that works for you I would not change a thing then.
