I was getting stuck cases on 9mm only with Lee Carbide Sizing die. I lube about every 10th case and haven't had a stuck case for awhile. I think there is a slight taper on 9mm. I never have a stuck case with 40SW which I also load.

The complete manual Bruce posted is available on the Alliant website. I also load/shoot 40SW but I use Green Dot because I have several pounds of it. I have no load data for Red Dot. If I remember correctly the loads listed in the Alliant manual are MAX. I start at a 10% reduction from those...

Amen to that !

OP here Thanks everyone for your responses. * Jepp2 - I had never heard of Flitz before but looked it up and gonna get some..Paste or Liquid? I will use it to polish this 9mm sizing die. I have ran probably 6000 rounds through it so it may have some buildup in there. Can you use Flitz on a...

Thanks for the quick repies. - The brass was tumbled in walnut media for an adequate time. Brass is clean and I don't think has grit on it - at least Major grit - I cleaned the die after the second stick with Brake Clean and then ran patch through it. I did not lube the die or cases. As I...

I had a problem to day I haven't had before and hope you boys have some insight for me. I was loading 9mm and I had about a dozen cases (out of 400) stick as I was resizing them I have never had this problem before. I have been loading for a little over 2 years. I use Lee dies, a Huerters 3A...

Wifey got one of them last year. She loves it! I was in Walmart Friday and saw that Starbucks now has K-Cups available.. Got her a box and got myself some "good hubby" points.

I didn't shoot/load anything today. I did order 40SW bullets from Midway today for loading over the Holidays.

Firecom you seem to have an affection for "coming to Nebraska". Unfortunately we are experiencing flooding all along the Missouri River basin this year. So you would just be trading Hurricane Insurance for Flood Insurance. We got us some serious water issues here this summer!

I am live in Omaha and it was a good CWS this year. How did the new park look to you all? The Gamecocks had a great two year run and Wingo's play through the Series but especially the last 2 games - that's the stuff that will be remembered! His eighth inning Monday -WOW. Omaha has 2 favorite...

One more thing.... It took me a long time to write my repsonse above. There was just so much to remember and so many emotions that I could have written all night on Iggy's post. Big Cholla's post was not in when I started writing mine. So after posting I read his. I concur with all of it...

Iggy - I graduated from High School the year after the war ended. I had a # but didn't get drafted nor did I serve. I have the utmost respect and am totally grateful for all who served in VN. Thank you all. That said - I have seen the traveling wall and the one in our Nations Capitol (the Wall...
