Devoted brass

Lube on shoulder during sizing. Not ideal but load as normal and shoot 'em. I get this a bit with 223 when I lube a bunch at a time with a spray bottle. Usually just use imperial on lower volume cases with no issues.

Over lubed. No worries. Shoot. Clean. Resize with minimal lube. Enjoy.

Too much lube on the neck/shoulder area gives pressure dents. It’s not a problem and will blow back out when it is fired. Unless you get a sharp crease, I’d just keep on loading it.

Your sizing die has small vent holes to combat this that may be plugged. This especially true if you have used dies or they have been sittimg around a long time between uses. You should be mostly putting the case lube on the body below the shoulder if using something like Imperial sizing wax. Have had this happen with 30-30 brass due to thin walls of shoulder and neck.

As everyone has said they will blow out just fine. No different than fireforming brass for wildcats or oddball cartridges.

All good advice in these posts. Load 'em and shoot 'em up.

We all have done it at some time or another. Lube and vent holes as stated above.

A real Rifleman’s cartridge!

I had this and saw someone write how they lube rifle cases so now I basically do that and it does not dent case necks or stick cases in the die. I put 5 on a RCBS lub pad and roll them, and put 5 with no lube next to the pad. I run one from the lube pad through my fingers to take off any excess lube, then size it. Then take on the non lubed cases and run it through my fingers to put a little lube on it. Seems to work pretty good. When setting up my 10 cases to size, I also put a drop of case lube on a neck brush and spread it around, and push the brush in and out of each case neck once.

Even doing a bunch of cases, I do them in sets of 10 or 15, just works for me - then I spot check headspace in a gauge to make sure I'm still on target, put the sized cases in a tub and repeat. I probably check headspace on every 10th case even when things are running smooth and no changes or adjustments have been made. Each one will get plunked in a gauge after finishing the cartridge, so - I only spot check at this stage to keep things moving.

What manual are you using for reloading information?
