[QUOTE="BillR, post: 386077, member: 462"] :) Montana. I have done all that. (Except for calling my buddy back that is) I also keep thinking that "There has to be a way" and I am a bit stubborn. What really has me stumped is the reason that I was pushing the necks of the cases down inside of the case when I went to deprime the cases that I had been able to resize. Only had one out of 5 that this didn't happen on and sucker stuck the case. I did find that the Lee tapered de priming rod is rougher than a cob. Ended up polishing it a bit and then it slid down inside the neck just fine. Stuck the case and thats when I got ****ed and used a hammer to drive out the case as the the stem would not come out so I could drill it and tap it to remove the case. Kind of lost it some where around there I guess. I'm going to buy another set of dies and give it another go maybe. Lee dies are cheap or that is the ones I will buy to try it again with. Don't want to buy anything good and destroy it. I'm waiting for some Imperial die wax to get here as I could not find any and might give the mink oil a go just to see what it does. Crazy part is I have reloaded thousands of rounds in 40 years and had probably only stuck 1 or two cases before this. Now I have stuck a lifetime of cases in 350 rounds. [/QUOTE]
