I have been away from all reloading for a couple of years, and rifle in particular for about 3. I just resurrected my equipment, and as I was unloading a box I found Dillon case lube and RCBS case lube, both in the pump bottles. I couldn't remember which I'd used years ago that worked well, but I thought it was the Dillon product.
In an effort to size and deprime some commercial .223 brass, I set up the press and got the cases aligned in a tray and sprayed on the case lube. I waited a few minutes, per the instructions, and tried a resize.
POP! The shellplate ripped off the base, and got stuck in my brand-new die.
After a little while of trying to figure out what was going on, I decided to try some .308 that I had lying around.
POP! The shellplate ripped off the base on this one as well, sticking the case.
Does the Dillon stuff stink, or am I going about this all wrong?
