What kinda lube ya using and are you getting it into the neck. I use one shot which alot of people don't like. But I apply it 3times with a 5minute wait in between each time. Stand them up in a block if you use it. Praise ther Lord I've only stuck one and it was my fault and I want hearing one shot

That is some bad luck. Hopefully it will only go up from here.

That’s a run of bad luck. I’ve had issues when I started with this caliber for some reason too. It’ll get better.

We've all been there. Sorry for your luck. When I do 30.06 or .308 I use one shot but I also will take regular old greasy ass case lube in the neck. I've got an old 30 cal swab from a cleaning kit and I'll put a little lube on it and do the inside of a case about every 5th one. No more sticking.

Look for any burrs on the die, I also take the resizing lube for the pads and use a q- tip and put it on the base and die every 5or so cases. But if that stuff dries up, it could produce an issue on the next run if not removed. Those big cases are challenging, and it sounds like your already doing the same thing I am. Good luck

I've been thru the same problems. Now I use a Dillon sizing die with carbide ball and Hornady spray lube. What a difference, my 30-06 is easier to size with Dillon than my 7mm-08/243's with RCBS/Hornady/Redding.

I always keep a spare rod just for days like that. Shit happens. Not that everyone likes it but I have used Lyman's One Shot lube for years. I load many different calibers from 223 up to 8 mm mag. With the 06 and 270 in between. I load more 223, 300blk and 308 more than any other with no problems. Good luck and I hope things get better.

Been there. When I first started, I broke a decapping pin. So I bought another one. That one broke. So I bought another one. That one eventually broke. So I bought 10 more. With those 10 on-hand, I have yet to break or bend another decapping pin.
