Paul,

I agree that it would take quite a bit to wear out a resizing ring but with hulls that give you problems and even with the hulls using steel, a spray of lube like One-Shot up inside the ring makes them as smooth as butter, and one can tell the difference for quite a few hulls before doing it again. I just tried it again to see the difference on a sizer using a ring, and it is like night and day in the smoothness during resizing, especially on the upstroke when the shell is ejected. If you use it on rifle brass cases in carbide dies, then it makes sense to me when it is steel on steel. Just a helpful tip I thought with problem shells.

My automatic guns shooting the Cheddites (Hevi-Metal shells) dent the metal heads as if they were run over by a car, since they are paper-thin.
