I am having a problem with my .223 die. I have the Hornady lock-n-load ap press and I am trying to load .223 ammo. So I lube the case and put it in the slot in the shell holder. I raise the handle and when it goes through the sizer die the lever pulls hard than it shakes the whole table when I push the lever back up. I tried using Hornady case lube in the aerosol can and also tried using the Imperial Wax. They both go through hard. I have also tried older cases that have been loaded a couple times and brand new cases and they all go through hard. So I am thinking it is something with my die. I used the Hornady gun cleaner and dry lube and cleaned the die and it still didnt help any. Can anybody help me out and tell me what might be wrong....?
