Issues. Help
Quote from Reloader on April 18, 2017, 11:26 pmI have a new SQD and am loading .45. I have loaded about 1500 rounds so far. Today after I reloaded a few hundred I noticed at station #2, when I push the handle forward after the case has been belled, and the powder dropped, It takes a lot of push to get the handle back up. I then get the handle finally to go up and it goes to the next station. I am using mixed brass and always have been. It actually started when I switched to brass that was cleaned with pins.

There are several solutions to prevent it. Tumble your brass in a media with a polish. Or dirty corncob. Put the brass in a bag and spray a few pumps of Dillon's spray lube and roll it around good. It should migrate into the cases. Dried spray lube makes everything run smoother. Or stand the cases up and give them a spray into the mouths. Let it dry. Or do not clean your cases at all.
