i understand size better with lube, but i'm getting some cases stuck so hard that the shellholder shears the rim off when trying to lower the ram, and i have to knock them out with punch and hammer.
i understand needing more effort to resize tapered cases and whatnot, but getting stuck hard...
i did read the whole thread, i was just kinda summarizing the thread there
so it sounds like hornady dies are crap? are you saying real carbide dies won't need lube though?
i am still curious if others are wet tumbling and using hornady dies are having the same issues?
i have tried lubing some and it is a ton easier
but i was just curious if its normal for 9mm to take more effort to resize than 45acp, if maybe if i have a faulty die or something?
also, the hornady titanium nitride dies are not supposed to need lube.
i was wondering if these hornady dies are...

so i went home and resized a handful of wcc cases without tumbling, i just wiped them with a towel, and so far haven't had a stuck case yet
maybe you guys are on to something about wet tumbled brass being...

the cases that resized came out good, so i think its the right die
do new dies need to be cleaned and lubed...
i'm starting to think i got a defective die
i bought them brand new, they say 9mm luger
all cases have been decapped and wet tumbled with dish soap and lemishine
i can understand if its a little harder to resize due to taper case, but some of them are so tight i have to knock them out with a...
so i'm new to reloading, started out with 45acp, did ok
now i'm starting on 9mm luger and the brass takes a lot more effort to resize than the 45s
i'm getting some cases stuck in the die and the shellholder is shearing the rim off when i try to lower the ram
i noticed most of the cases i'm...
i'm no gunsmith, so somebody please correct me if i'm a dumbass, but how about heating up the barrel a bit? barrels can get pretty hot just from shooting so i don't see how heating it up can hurt the barrel, it may just expand enough to loosen up the obstruction
