Dale, his mind is firmly made up it's not a lube problem. When I asked how he was lubing his cases, it was not even worthy of a response.

I've encountered the same problem with cases being sticky on the powder funnel, and it seems to be worse with 45 ACP cases. Dumping the cleaned cases in a box, and giving them a couple of shots of RCBS Case Slick solved the problem. A slight application to the funnel, just what residue of case slick is left on your finger after wiping it off, speeded the process up a lot. When you spray the lube on the cases in a box, some of the inside mouths get some lube, and that small amount is all it takes. The Case Slick is good stuff, my favorite lube. If it makes enough difference in the neck tension to affect accuracy, I couldn't detect it at 45ACP accuracy levels.
