RCBS Lube Die

physikal · June 13, 2010, 04:45 PM

I'm trying to get this RCBS Lube Die setup and I have dumped what I consider to be quite a bit of Lube into it. Yet the padding that lubes still is not lubing the cases. Do I have to let it sit vertical for a few hours or what? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My thought is that for the first time she'll take more lube than you realize. You may think you put in a lot but if it's not lubing the cases...add more lube.

Thanks. I think you're right. I grabbed the lube, shoved it in the hole, and started squeezing like a mad man while cursing at it.

I'm starting to see some lube now on my casings. Thanks!

I found that I needed to enlarge the hole in the lube bottle to get the lube to flow better into the hole in the die. I drilled it out w/ a 1/16" diameter bit. Much easier to add lube after that.
