[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2075630, member: 15054"] I use Lee dies and have no issues..sub moa groups also. But it really does not matter how far in you twist the die once the shell holder contacts it..bottomed out is bottomed out. I use Imperial sizing die wax...get it you will not regret it..1 container has lasted over 4000 cases Like was stated swab some on the inside of the necks..one roll of a Qtip in that wax will d o 10 cases easily. Or the mica will work also. You need to clean the brass well before sizing it..any carbon or dirt will create friction and scratch up the dies. Now here is a test for you..polish the outside of the case with 0000 steel wool and then take a cleaning bore brush and apply some 0000 steel wool to it and chuck it up in a drill or something to make it spin... Now clean the inside of the neck.. blow it off Now lube inside neck and outside case...then try and resize it...Bet it is much easier. Now you can remove the center decapping pin from the die and clean it...it will have circular machine grooves around it. and possibly scratches long ways from dirty brass necks. You can take 1000 1500 or 2000 grit sand paper and a little soap and water on the sandpaper and spin the decapping pin with your fingers and slightly polish that expanding area.. Or use some brown paper sack and auto polishing compound that is clear coat safe.. Or paper towel and some toothpaste.... just a little polishing makes a huge difference.. You do not want to polish away the machine grooves.... just put a slickness to it... And keep the neck insides clean. Try the 0000 steel wool...You could possibly spin the decapping pin and polish it with 0000 also..but never tried it. I use meguiers mirror glaze machine glaze #3 and a bounty paper towel to polish all my dies and decapping pins. I use a bore swab with #3 on it to polish inside my dies... oreilly's sells it..It is a final finish after painting a car (besides wax) this has no waxes in it or anything else that will contaminate a paint job..sure makes that paint shine..and no swirl marks...good enough for me.
