I tumbled, cleaned and lubricated (Lee case lubricant) some once fired 30-30 cases. I know the provenance of the cases; factory loads fired my own rifle. None of them could be run through the sizing/decapping die except by force sufficient to damage the case. I bought another die, cleaned it and lightly lubricated it with Rem Oil. Same problem. The cases are the same. The lubricant is the same. The two dies are identically adjusted vis a vis the pin. I have other Lee dies in a variety of calibers from 38 to 45-70 and not a single problem with any of them. This is the strangest and most frustrating thing I've seen in quite a few years of reloading.
