Try rubbing a bit of lube on your thumb and index finger, then apply a tinny sheen of lube to each case just before you size them. Doesn't take very much lube.Probably pretty dorky but... it's my first full tube of primers... woohoo!
learned (besides reading) what too much lube does inside a die; denting the shoulder of case.
learned the difference in feel in the press between straight wall case and a necked case.... .223...extra pull on the down stroke and easier than 12.7/42.. but more lube needed.
next step: tumble the brass and set up powder dump....
