Prepping .223 cases for reloading is done in the shop using a RCBS RockCrusher.
Decided to try the spray on 1 Shot lube following instructions to the letter and it seemed to work fine.
Reloading is down in the house (lot cleaner process) with a Dillon 550b Progressive loader using the 1 Shot. The same cases that resized well on the Rockcrusher were "hanging" up on the Dillon press at the resizing, depriming station (first station).
This, of course, was affecting the shoulder length.
Thnking that the base of the case may not have been lubed well enough because of the loading block, I manually coated them with 1 Shot and coated the inside of each neck with a Q-tip.

Not much improvement.
Then I manually coated just the base of some with the Dillon lube. Cases resized very smoothly and shoulder length was not affected.

Anyone else run into this?
