Case lube inside neck?

[qajaq59]

I use a dry lube on about every 5th case or so.

"I stripped the threads on the post that holds the expander in my .30-06 die."

Interesting problem. I noted you later mentioned Hornady dies; is that what your's is? If so, the threads are sorta manufactored "stripped"; the collet holding it in place works by friction.

I'm new to reloading so this question may seem basic. How can I tell if my resizing die uses an expander ball or a bushing die?

Regular dies have a protuberance as part of the decapping pin that enlarges the neck on the upstroke. Bushing dies require that a bushing be inserted into the die to work. If you don't know, then in all likelyhood you have a regular die.
