I'm finally starting to load for my 300 Win Mag. I have the Hornady New dimension die set(546352)
I'm was having a heck of a time getting the expander out of the neck after resizing. I am using unique on the case body and a brush with unique inside the necks.
I could not figure out the correct amount of lube to use because the amount didn't seem to matter at all. It got worse not better and I stuck the expander in the neck and ruined the zip spindle and spindle lock getting it unstuck.
I read that you should never force anything but it was not that smooth regardless of how much lube I used.
I thought it would be smooth like the Lee Universal de capping die but it wasn't even close. Is there a special trick I'm missing here?
any ideas?
