I've got die sets from Lyman, Lee, Hornaday, and RCBS. Maybe it's the black (small base) models, but these get cases stuck 10x as often as other dies I have. Is it just me? Are RCBS much tighter tolerance, or is it a design issue?
Never had an issue with their regular dies, never had a need for small base dies though.. using enough lube?
^ This, I've had mine since the mid 90's. Only one or two stuck cases which were totally my fault.Been using RCBS Small Base .223/5.56 dies for about 8 years now. Processed tens of thousands of rounds. Not one stuck case
What is your lubricating process? It sounds like this is your issue
