Resizing question

[JamesEric]

Do you guys lube inside case necks. I use rcbs case lube with a pad. When a case gets stuck in a die is the problem from not lubing inside the necks or not enough on outside of casing.

 

[Rick Richard]

Not enough on the outside.

I use Hornady one shot spray ,follow the directions you will get some inside the necks and that will keep you from getting galled from the expander I don't use an expander I use an expanding mandrel but it is an extra step

Although usually the neck is not what sticks a case in the die as mentioned above not enough lube or high pressure's have expanded the base

I threw all my other die lube away once I got a can of imperial. I lightly dip the necks in powder lube when sizing that part with a bushing.

Graphite lock lube for neck insides. Makes for easy passage of expander button, if used & lessens possibility of neck run-out.

I take a Gallon ZipLock Bag, spray some "One Shot" in it, put the brass in it, spray the cases in the bag again with "One Shot", Zip the bag closed and shake around. Brass will have a light even coating on the outside and some inside the necks.

I have never had another stuck case when I switched to Imperial Sizing wax years ago.

 

[Jcook02]

Switched from One shot to Imperial and dry neck lube, I won't be looking back.

Imperial sizing wax is the best that I have ever used. I realize I'm not as knowledgeable about reloading as most of these reloaders on here. But always felt that to much lube could cause problems also.

 

[Stonyman88]

Never stuck one and only use Imperial Sizing wax, but very careful with checking the brass first and clean ultrasonically, and brush the necks first with electric drill with a brass brush. I do tumble in walnut sometimes after I've done the other steps first

As others have stated stuck case is a function of outside case friction. One shot will do the trick, but if you prefer to keep your current method, you can use a q-tip with some of your current case lube inside the neck. Just a light coating is all that is required. While the inside of the neck will not stick a case, I have experienced stretching the case neck on the down stroke of the sizing operation when no lube is present.
