[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 588432, member: 39764"] The corkscrew was a suggestion at best. I have never stuck a case (knock on wood) in thousands (literally) of reloads. I'm a believer in Hornady One Shot aerosol spray case lube and a plastic zip lock baggie..... I keep wondering if PAM spray on non-stick would work just as well (it's cheaper and I'm inherently frugal) but I'm afraid to try it. I spend a gob of time reworking Mil brass (best therapy for a 30 year marriage is reloading actually...) and I don't own a case remover though I probably can cabbage one up if need be, if I stuck one. I've often wondered what it feels like to have your fingers become an interference fit between a bullet and case mouth, not that I would know, I use top/front load seater dies. My brother-in-law told me it 'hurts like hell'. I imagine it does. All that mechanical advantage of the press trying to seat your fingers instead of the projectile.......:) Hand loading is a nice way to build custom loads and tailor ballistics to a particular situation but it's also about being cheap, excuse me, frugal and in my case, great middle age marriage therapy. besides, I reload in my shop so I can't hear her anyway.....:D [/QUOTE]
