Title says it all - Do 300 blackout cases get stuck as easily as 223?

I am pretty good about not having this happen when loading 223, but just wondering if I have to be as diligent about lubing cases for 300 as 223 because I treat 223 like no other round that I load in regards to case lubing. Thanks in advance.
 
No reason it wouldn't.

All bottle-neck rifles cases will stick in a sizing die without proper case lube application.

Not as critical as .223 but still needs lube. Being a shorter case I think makes the difference. After the first sizing-forming then sizing after firing is very easy. I haven't seen any issue with the expander pulling the neck forward like is possible in .223. I think it'd be hard to freeze a case in the sizing die even if you forgot to lube one of them. I think the residual lube in the die would prevent it from getting stuck. More critical for consistent lube when first sizing forming .223 cut cases than sizing fired cases. Fun to load and more fun to shoot.
 
I honestly wouldn't know, I've never stuck a case, .223 included.

Lube them properly, and I guarantee you won't have to deal with stuck cases ever again.

Lubrication is critical with any rifle brass. .223 is no more critical than say .308, and 300 BLK cases will stick tighter than Dick's hat band with no lube.
 
Stuck case???? If you lube them they don't stick. Ever.
I use the hornady lube in the lil tube think its mink oil. Just run my finger across it before I pick up a case to size and Bada Bing 10, 000 + and none stuck. With that said bet my next case will stick.
