    You're right, very expensive and still needs lube.

    I use this set. I think I paid about $165 for it several years ago but I have never had a problem with stuck cases or anything else for that matter. And -

    It's worth the extra hundred bucks or so to me.

    I agree. The dillon carbide rifle dies have always been trouble free for me. Buy once cry once.

    I did not read the whole thread, but you seem to say it is not every case. I had this happen on a couple occasions using range "Pick up" brass. I mic'd the head of the stuck case and it was over size from an excessive load or over length chamber.

    Saw this years ago, works every time.
    This will eliminate the banging and hammer while the rest of the house sleeping during reloading hours.

    The goal is to never have to use it though lol

    I did not see your application technique listed. Lube needs to be on the base of the case, not the shoulder. The plastic shoe box spray and shake method works well. Pile in the cases (half a box maximum), spray, shake to distribute, spray, shake, let dry.

    Be careful... video says to use a 1/4 inch drill for a 1/4 inch tap. 1/4-20 tap drill size is 13/64 or .201. Also, a 3/8 drive socket makes a good receiver for pulling. More convenient than scrounging big nuts.

    Don't forget to lube the inside of case necks too!
