I started using the spray on case lubes sometime back and at first thought it was greatest thing since sliced bread and few months later I thought my dies were going bad, sticking cases at random, squeaking when sizing, etc! I went back to the RCBS case lube and the lube pad and sizing problems eliminated!
I have to give my brass a good pre-cleaning before sending them to the polish media after using the RCBS lube pad to extend the life of the media! I have not tried the imperial sizing was, but will run a test with such in a few months!
u just drill the primer out and tap it , screw the case on it , it he bottom slides in to the press were the Shell holder goes,
woks pretty good. strange thing was i didn't stick any reforming them , that was the hardest part, it was after i trimmed them and was decapping and sizing the throat.
daing if it didn't happen 3 times.
case still has some lube on them and im putting a bit of lub inside the neck also. guess stranger things have happen, this is the first time i have set down to do more then 20-30.
this is the first time i wanted to do a bunch just to get them ready for down the road but 2.5 min a case i get bored easy. not to bad im using a rcbs trim pro i just set and watch it work.
i think i found this case remover for around $8-10 on fleebay years back and thought WTH anyway NOT,
this could be home made if you find something to fit the press so you can pull the case out,
brain thought [:0]
could use a bolt through any Shell holder hole that could be threaded into the primer pocket.[B)]
RCBS stuck case remover is a good one and if you reload you WILL EVENTUALLY stick a case! (and you will immediately wonder why you do not have one as they are bullet proof and have a lifetime warrenty from good ole RCBS)

have heard a lot say they get stuck cases using the spray lube, just my watching over the past years it looks like most are in the winter and up north, maybe the spray does not work well in the cold.
i have used the pad and rcbs lube forever and this is a first stick for me.
might have just got some brass with week heads but then again i would have thought one would have stuck while squeezing the 3006 into an 8mm, im using my 8mm sizer die to do so with the de caper out. most of the rest went in and out just like a sized case should. i did find 1 that wouldn't even start so it got trashed, didn't want number 4 to show its head
About five years ago I got a .41 mag case stuck. Ruined the die tring to get it out. So I got the Rcbs stuck case remover. Last week my newbie reloader friend got a case stuck, so I loaned it to him. All was good until he cinched down on the screw. The case started to turn on him. I went over and took a couple turns on it and got it out because when I turned the wrench I pulled a little on the wrench. The die sure did'nt look so good. Its got brass rings around the inside of the die. He's going to soak it in solvent and try to buff it out. Good luck, hope it works out for him.
if it is rcbs just send it back they will fix it or send a new one.
i did so for a 45acp die that was leaving scratches in my brass
