Shell Plate Retaining Screw
Quote from Reloader on June 14, 2015, 2:53 pmThis is the second time in a few months that the shell plate retaining screw has broken. I lube underneath before each reloading session. is something wrong?

Quote from Reloader on December 27, 2015, 5:39 amI had the same problem with my SDB. On the upstroke, the shell will sometimes stick on the powder drop flaring die. It seems to happen worse when the cases are dirty on the inside. It seems to almost cause a little jolt when it yanks the case free from the flaring die. The only thing hold the shell plate down against this force is the shell plate retaining screw.
I started lubing my cases with Dillion Case Lube. This helped some but not totally better.
I'm actually going to try one of those tumbling case cleaners with stainless media. They appear to clean the inside of the cases much better.

From what I've read, tumbling your cases with stainless media will get them so clean that they will stick like new cases.

After 20K rounds I finally sheared a shell plate bolt, and no it does not come out with an eraser. Any other ways of removing the broken piece?
