30-06 AI fire formed cases
RCBS RC-II
Redding Decapping/Resizing Die
So finally got around to setting this up, up stroke, no sticking, but on the downstroke the case mouth is getting stuck on the decapping rod. I took the die apart, cleaned it with degreaser, light swipe of oil. The cases are freshly fired, never touched the ground, and not tumbled or otherwise prepped. Using a small amount of case lube on the body.
I’ve tried cleaning the inside and outside of the case neck with a bore brush, but still, sticking to the point of feeling like I’m going to pop the case head off.
Anyone with more smarts than me have any idea whats happening or what I’m doing wrong here?
