223 resizing die
Quote from Reloader on January 8, 2016, 3:41 pmI have been working on starting to reload 223 for some time. The first set I purchased I repeatedly kept getting brass stuck in the resizing die. So basicily destroying the decapping part twice. I purchased new ones and also another resizing die. I size and decap then wet tumble.
This morning I set up to reload by putting the first die back in, thinking that since the brass had been resized I would not have any issues, lube the brass and the first piece got stuck, so I got that one out and thought maybe that was a one off. Well the second stuck also. Any help on this please, not sure if I am doing something wrong. Thank you

With any aerosol lubricants, you must let the alcohol carrier evaporate before running the case up into the die. Usually 5-10 minutes wait is sufficient.

Do you know the history of the cases you are reloading?
Are the cases from a bolt action, or a semi-auto?
