it pours. Got up early to load some 300 BO ammo. Put brass in a pan and sprayed with Hornady One Shot lube. Shook pan and resprayed. Had one case drag a little but the next 2-3 were easy. Then bam! Stuck case. No big deal, it's happened before a number of years ago. Got my home made stuck case remover set out. Couldn't get decapping stem out so I proceeded to drill anyway. After drilling,the stem come out minus the decapping pin.
Procede with tapping the hole and the tap breaks. WTH ?
Walk away from the bench. Find a new die set and stuck case kit on Amazon and place the order.
I'll try to drill the tap with a cobalt bit and use an ez out on it.

I know the feeling. Some days just aren't reloading days....that said....
Let that spray lube dry before sizing

Yep, I had been using a paste type lube but decided to give the spray a shot. Learning curve...

Cant say I have had one since I started using lanolin and alcohol.

Wonder how Fluid Film would work ? It's lanolin based

Make your own. I don't have the ratios in front of me, but it's 90% or higher alcohol and lanolin. A google search will bring it up
After several years of using resizing oils and sprays I tried the resizing wax . I haven't had any stuck cases and no shoulder dents since.
I bought it from Midway. I've been pleased and I haven't had to wash the cases for final cleanup. I just use a paper towel and wipe them off. A little goes a very long way.
I haven't had any misfires, which had been my first concern.
Also. I meant to add. I don't use a rolling pad. Just a little on my fingertips.
