What's the deal with RCBS dies

[Henri311]

I bought a replacement die set for my 300 blackout. The first set had a stuck case popped the expander ball and stripped the decapping rod. I lube my cases heavy so wtf. Fortunately the shop I bought it from replaced the set no questions asked. After 7 cases it gets stuck again and strips the decapping rod a second time. I'm done with RCBS!!!!! Anyone else have problems with their resizing die???

Nope I never had that problem and all I use are RCBS dies

 

[Henri311]

Any advice?

Lube them heavy with what? You got two cases stuck it two different dies. Maybe the fault doesn't belong to the die.

Using One Shot and sizing wax

Also have Lee dies with no problems only bought the RCBS because They were at the store and didn't want to wait for shipping for the lee set.

At the same time? Too much lube can cause a case to stick because you create a vacuum.

Not at the same time but in different scenarios, I know about the little vent hole and made sure it wasnt blocked.

Too much lube can be more harmful than no lube at all. Lube very, very lightly.

I use imperial sizing die wax sparingly and have never had a problem. Of course now that I said that......
