I am starting to believe the hornady one shot case lube sucks. lol.

 

There has to be a better way.

How do you fail so miserably!?

 

I think it's those lee dies that suck. I've yet to have a problem with my RCBS dies.

I use the Lee dies with Dillon case lube, never had any problem.

did you even load yet rifle?

 

All others are perfect, just the 223.

maks,

 

Try the Lee lube, I've had some pretty tight .308 cases and no problems. .223 are a walk in the park.

Yup just havn't seated and added powder yet so only half way

I think it is either lack of experience :mrgreen: or the Lee dies. I use hornady one shot no problem. Only stuck case I ever had was my error. it may also be the brand 223 brass you are loading. 223 is particularly thin.

All the others are fine, 308, 9mm, 45gap.

Read my edit as you were responding, could be the brass

it could be. the brass that was stuck is either Remington or Federal. the case rim just came off.

 

PMC brass was nice though.

Remington brass is supposedly getting thinner lately.

I use one shot on all my pistol brass, But I use Dillon lube on my rifle brass.

I had to use so much one shot to get the rifle brass to work smoothly in my machines.

The trick is to always let it sit for like at least 10 mis too, I don't know why but it works better after sitting

try a small amount of stp on a new stamp pad - never had a case stick in 40 + years - only draw back is removing lube - i size mine first + then tumble with primer in after sizing -

yah, i had some new remington rifle brass that was a pita..

I've been sizing Remington and PMC .223 with Lee dies no problem. I've used the one shot which was OK, but I really like Imperial case sizing die wax the best. I just lightly lube the case and there is no sticking at all.

just an update... it was the remington brass. All federal and lake city worked like a charm. the remington, which was new stuff that was just bought at dicks.

 

What I started doing that seems to help, a small tin cap, put in 5 or 6 223 cases, spray them, liberally, with one shot, then roll them to get it all covered, then run in the dies.
