I have a Lee 223 die that was a bit rough when I got it. I made a whip using a piece of. 25 inch brass round bar. Slice the round bar length wise .375 to .50 deep using a cut off wheel ,or a hacksaw if its all you have. Use red or green scotchbrite .cut little strips and insert into the slots in the brass. Run it in a pneumatic die grinder or dremmel. This is an old machinist trick. You can lube with hornady 1 shot, or WD works fine . This will polish your die as smooth as a babys ars, and your brass wil be silky smooth.

Had the same issue with a Redding 300 Blackout sizing die. Used a chamber mop and some mothers polish to fix it. I have used Widden, Redding, Forster, and Hornady dies, and Redding is my favorite. Hopefully, they get this corrected so it doesn't happen again.

I also polish the expander button with autosol and a cleaning patch. I put the de-capping/ expander stem in my drill and hold the patch with autosol against the expander button and give it a spin for a minute or 2. The button looks like chrome after and slides through the case necks with less resistance.

I had a .280AI die from them that I had to send back. It was so rough inside that it removed material from my brass. Customer service sent me a brand new die, didn’t even bother to polish the defective one. QC seems to be a big issue with Redding lately.

@jasonrad9332 Год назад
I think you should make a video about how to select bushing size. I learned the hard way. I was watching some of Erik Cortina’s Believe The Target podcast, and decided too turn my necks down. Oops, then I didn’t ensure I had a small enough bushing first.
@foonus406
@foonus406 Год назад
Rule of thumb for me has been 2 thousands under bullet diameter. The short action customs bushings have worked well here. I've heard tell of some magnum rounds performing well with more neck tension but lack the magnum primers to test that now for a while.
@jasonrad9332
@jasonrad9332 Год назад
@@foonus406 problem is you have to factor the case wall thickness. I had been using .0145 neck thickness and had the appropriate bushing. When I turned my necks down to .010, that bushing was no longer small enough to shape the neck. I think a dedicated video could help save people some problems.

If you have the ability to make an adapter, a Cotton Bore Mop would be better than a regular Dremel buff form the risk of collet nut contacting inside the die aspect given that bore mops are significantly longer than a regular Dremel buff wheel. The problem though is even the #6 thread size is too big to fit a Dremel collet since the biggest collet that I'm aware of is 1/8" (.125") where as a #6 thread has an OD of .138" (which you "might" be able to get locked into an 1/8" collet but I cant say for sure as I've never tried) and if its a #8 thread, then even worse at .164"

If you have a piece of brass stuck in your die you just need to pull up the Decapping pin out of the way. And then clamp your die in a Vice and drill with a .201 drill and tap it with a 1/4-20 tap. Then select a socket that goes around the outside of the case but rests on the die and put your bolt through the center of it with a washer and start tightening the bolt up and it will remove the brass case quite easily. Then of course you will have to remove the decamping pin from the piece of brass. No need to hammer it out at your friends house.

I messed up a die by sizing my cases, trimming them down, then accidentally dropping one on the concrete floor and resizing it. It seems like a bit of brass managed to get into the chamber of the die and the next few cases really pressed it in, now the last 50 cases i did have 2 scratches the exact same distance apart on every single case. I was wondering what the strongest metal pick i can use to try and scrape the brass out without damaging the die? Any ideas ??

I'll just add I am no expert and I know you are taking precautions not to remove metal other than the raised surface just don't know if its a good move for anyone not needing it to make loads for next day competitions or hunting as I can almost guarantee it will likely void the warranty.

It’s only polishing the metal, it’s not milling or removing any noticeable amour of steel. There is way to much BS on RU-vid about reloading and cleaning rifles that people that don’t know buy. ( and I seriously don’t mean you in particular)A light polish will remove a minuscule…… resize tour fired case, now make a chamber cast of your rifles chamber. Measure your sized case body along the length of it in different places, then measure your chamber casting……. Be ready to see that there is liberal amount for polishing!

@DW-35
@DW-35 Год назад
FL die sizes the case body down within CIP or SAMMI spec and sizes the neck down to whatever is set by the die manufacturer. FL Bushing die aslo sizes the case body down within CIP or SAMMI spec, but the neck sizing is controlled by the user, with the use of interchangeable bushings. There is a few ways to work out which bushing you need. Hopefully helped, hope you have a great day 🙂
