Difficulty on the downstroke
Quote from bdonley on June 30, 2023, 1:21 amI'm currently loading 9mm and when I come back down to the press, I quite frequently have to use a fair amount of force to complete the stroke resulting in powder spray. Any Ideas how to correct this?

This is common with new brass and wet-cleaned brass in particular, as it lacks any carbon residue on the inside of the case neck, which acts as a lubricant on the powder funnel. Every 25 or so rounds, wipe off the expander portion of the funnel with a scotchbrite pad to prevent brass buildup.

Quote from PapawDave1 on November 20, 2023, 8:09 pmJust moved up to a Dillon progessive 750 from a single station red machine and most of my cases are clinging for dear life to the flair on the powder funnel. scotch bright helped some, however I also steped up to carbide dies. Do i need to go back to a small lube to prevent this case sticking?
