Cases sticking to funnel
Quote from Reloader on April 25, 2016, 12:31 am9mm / 45 auto sticking to powder funnel.
On thicker brass for 9mm and 45 the cases stick. The vast majority of cases stick. The only 9mm cases that don't stick are blazer and federal which are very thin. And with 45 the only cases that don't stick are Win, PMC, and Aguila (none are these are quality brass besides maybe win). Unfortunately it's nice to use thicker brass to prevent setback. A quick web search shows A LOT of people have this problem. I've noted at the expanded a are .001 thicker than other Manufacturers.
My question isn't what is the fix... Because there isn't one. I've tried everything suggested here and on other sites.
My question is why the heck is Dillon still making them .001 bigger than everyone else?! For such an expensive product this sucks. my shoulder gets sore after 20 minutes of loading. I can't stand all the banging around either.
In a previous post Dillon states most cases are .009-.011 thick. Not true 95% of all cases are .011-.014 get with it.

Quote from Reloader on April 25, 2016, 10:29 pmYea, that is a band-aid. I'm looking for someone to turn one down for me. More money on top of the money spent on a blue press. One things for sure, my Hornady expanders never stick in cases, or my Redding, or RCBS, or Lyman M-Dies, or Lee... am i missing anyone? NONE of them stick, except the one on my expensive Dillon press. Both funnels for that matter. Its not a fluke.

They say polishing the funnel helps a lot. I have carbide dies and use One Shot Case lube, it makes everything run smoother.

Check you the FAQs on the Starline Brass website.
Why don't you buy some brass from them Starline and they will help you out.
Or, maybe Dillon offers the same service for free?
