[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 385964, member: 11717"] I'm guessing your brass is OK. It's just a matter of getting sized the first time and once you've got that accomplished, you should be good to. I had a few 300 RUM cases that were tough to size after some over pressure loads, and I got 3 of them stuck. It finally got through my thick skull to size them a little at a time. As soon as I felt what seemed like excessive force to smoothly size a caseI lifted the handle and then brought it back down slightly farther and lifted again, repeating this until I had the full case sized. Once that was acomplished, I didn't have any more problems with the case. Make sure you use a proper amount of good lube, not too much and not too little. I like One Shot. For stuck cases, you might try a google to get some tips. a 1/4" drill bit, and 1/4" hex head bolt with nut and washer, some sort of sleeve - a socket would probably do, a socket and wratchet for the nut and bolt and you can get that case right out the next time. Anyway, I think you oughta call your buddy back and thank him for the brass :) [/QUOTE]
