Default Oddest 'Oh-Oh' at YOUR reloading bench

OK, nothing too special....little things still happen all these decades later well past when ALL those little 'oopsies' should never occur.

Had one little strange incident a few days ago....

I've been wrestling with 308 cases of late, and have had to reacquaint myself with the peculiarities of long-gun bottle neck cases.

Solved one of the unsolvable mysteries of reloading, by finally buying a NEW set of dies, which produced sparkling prime ammo for my next range outing.

But....had to take the 650 tool head off and fiddle a bit with some otherwise minor adjustments....only to discover now just where I had put that tin of Imperial sizing wax...*kaff*kaff*....

Well....it DID leave a marvelous exact impression of the decapper/resizer die and the powder funnel die in the otherwise barely used container.

And it DID give me an opportunity to find how effectively various approaches are in removing considerable-sized gobs of semi-hard wax from the dies.

Leaving the dies directly under a 60w bulb for a while does soften it considerably, if you need to know.....
