223 Carbide Sizer Snapped

#1 · December 26, 2014, 12:22 am

So out of all my years reloading, I finally purchase a dillon carbide set, and not even the first thousand rounds I get a stuck case. It was properly lubed using Hornandy one shot, but I still managed to get a case stuck in there.

First thing I did was try to use the stuck case removal feature on the die. I removed the spring and secured the die on a single stage, and slowly turned the top of the die in order to remove the case. However the stem snapped! Next I tried to Drill and tap, but the depriming pin was in the way.

Unfortunately, we get more instances of stuck cases using One Shot than any other brand of case lube. Please contact us for a return authorization and send the die in. We will remove the stuck case and restore the die.

I concur with Dillon. Hornaday One shot case lube is not as good as Dillons case lube (at least on Dillon machines for 223s). I have tried both and have returned to Dillon case lube!

Thanks, I got a RMA #, and will be returning the die for case removal and restoration.

Definitely will try the Dillon case lube, and will get rid of the Hornandy one shot.
