How'd I get here, and how do I get out???
Tried re-sizing some .223 brass tonight (once fired Winchester). I completed the same steps that I have on my other once-fired brass, and the same steps that I went through already with this brass...
I inspected it, tumbled it, lubed it (stood all cases up, and gave a decent spray of Hornady One-shot). I noticed that the cases seemed to be taking more effort through the sizing die than they did previously. Due to this I actually sprayed my problem shell with a quick shot of extra lube, in hopes of easing other casings through the sizing die.
Shell went up, then pulled right out of the shell holder on the downstroke, destroying a good chunk of the shell rim in the process.
So, I'm not sure why this happened (particularly since I KNOW that the shell in question was well-lubed). Second, I don't know how to get out of this predicament!
Any help would be appreciated!
