I was trying to FL size my 284 win cases the other day and was using a lee die with the rcbs case lube, and had nothing but trouble. The brass is all Winchester twice fired. I never had this problem before but, it was starting to but little dents in the case shoulder and out of thirty cases about ten of them stuck the decapper pin into the die and when I tried to come down it pulled the decapper pin out of the die. First I thought I was using too much lube and it was causing the dents, so I used less and it still did it, also after it pulled the decapper pin out of the die I tighten the nut on the top back up but it still continued to do the same thing.
So I gave up and bought some new win brass and a redding FL die along with some imperial wax and went and the first thing I did was try and size some of the old brass with the new die and lube and it worked perfect. No dents or anything.
Any thoughts to what caused this? The lee die is not going to be used anymore but would still like to learn what I did wrong or what the problem was.
Thanks
