I had never read this. I bought some one shot. I was using it today on lake city 7.62 nato once fired, with a rcbs full length die. They felt terrible to resize. Wiped on the lee sizing paste wax. Felt smooth and easy. $10.90 plus the 6% to the governor for the privilege of wasting my own money. None got stuck but it sure felt like they wanted to.

Just an update, I got my stuck 308 case out of the sizing die. Since this was my first mass cleaning and reloading effort and already have a stuck case, I decided to invest in a rcbs stuck case removal kit. While I wait for it to get here, I was noticing that it is a spacer, bolt, drill bit and tap. So I decided to give it a try. I drilled out the primre hole with a 7/16 bit and taped it out with a 1/4 20 tap. Put a 3/4 deep socket over the die and rested it on the locking ring. Placed some fender washers on top and proceeded to screw in a 1/4 20 bolt. Wella! It pulled the case right out. I then had to use a tubing cutter to cut the neck off the case to retrieve my sizing collet and decaping pin holder. Oh well alls well that ends well! Back to the press and reloading. Dennis.

I just use STP on everything. Put a little in a rag throw the brass in a bowl and swirl it around with the rag and go. Only cases I've had stuck were because of not lubing to begin with

I wish I had your success rate Hooligan. I have stuck 50 or more in my reloading career. Most of them were because I was busy running my mouth and forgot to lube a case. Talking while I work is the biggest enemy of my reloading success. If I am loading match stuff, the door is shut.
