Quote from Reloader on March 23, 2014, 10:04 pmNeed help. The powder drop tube that funnels powder and bells the cartridge is very tight and theres lots of friction and scoring on the tube during upstroke.

This commonly occurs when loading new brass, or brass cleaned in a liquid. The carbon residue inside the case typically acts as a lubricant.
Use steel wool, scotchbrite pad, wire wheel, etc, to remove the brass buildup from the funnel.
