Quick question about my trimmer

[freedom]

My 22 collet keeps getting stuck. I've never had this issue before, but I don't reload that much. I've tried it on sized and unsized brass. All sized sticks, most unsized does. My setup is in the garage, so it's pretty cold but I've been running a ceramic heater for a couple hours knowing I would be out there today.

Lucky, I use a hand trimmer still...lol

Have you tried cleaning it up with WD40 and 0000 steel wool?

Does it have any surface rust?

No to the surface rust. I'll try a little dremel polishing.

Cleaned with oil and 00 steel wool, a little polishing with dremel and mothers polish and the sized are still not going in.

Are you supposed to trim before or after sizing or should it matter?

I trim after sizing, as the cases grow after sizing. Maybe your expander ball is undersized? What's the diameter of your .22 trimmer pilot?

That's probably what it is. I used a decapper die to deprime and took the decapping pin out of the sizing die.

It's lee. I know my rcbs 308 die had a expander ball on the deprimer. I think the lee one was a straight pin.

That's what I did. Putting the capper back in fixed it.

My inexperience is showing. Now I'm resizing everything again.

Meh, it happens. I haven't reloaded in so long, I would probably have a rough go at it the first few rounds myself. I need to refresh myself though, as I need to get some 6.5 loads worked up.
