RE: Lee dies messing up?
I'm a little lost as to what is happening with your dies. Is your decapping pin pulling out or is your expander stem whats coming out? I have 4 sets of lee dies and love them, never a problem of any kind.Are you having trouble with just one brand of brass, If so could the flash holes in your brass be undersize. As for case lube I like Dillon's in the pump spray bottle. I don't lube anything I can size with Lee's collet size dies, one mess I don't have to deal with. I've replaced my RCBS press with a Lee 4 hole turret,and I have a Lee hand press,and I'm very satisfied with both of them.I've got a set of RCBS dies in 30-06 and the decapping pin was so out of center I had to insert a screwdriver into the die body and bend the stem to center it up ,so I dont like them very much!
