Inside the neck is where you're getting friction. I use a neck brush and silica powder that's made for this. The lube you're using or, as stated above, powdered graphite will work.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Hornady makes tub style lube that works well for this. I typically will put enough on the inside neck to remedy this. I get my fingers greased up about the way it would be after eating a chicken wing and that will get around 5-7 cases.

What caliber are you loading and what type of lube are you using? How are you lubing the case? Lyman lube, on the pad. 30-06

Rebelman - get a stuck case remover if you don't already have one. Nothing sucks worse than getting a case really stuck good. We've all been there.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

As said, lube inside of neck. But the resistance on the upstroke is normal. Down stroke squeezes case and neck down to size. Actually usually squeeze neck down too small. So on the upstroke, the 'knob' on the decap pin (on most dies) opens the neck just enough to accept a jacketed bullet. Not on all dies. Bushing dies= redding, forster, hornady,rcbs, and harrels precision and others . A bushing die allows the user to control the amount of tension put on the neck. They DO NOT squeeze the neck to tight. Here is an example. A loaded 308 Lapua brass with bullet has a .337 loaded neck. So if you have a bushing die with a .336 bushing it CAN NOT be smaller than .336. So you end up with 1 ths neck tension. ALso the "knob" you are refering to is called a expander button, so a perminatly attached. Some are interchange able, so you can swap them. They even make a tapered expander ball. A tapered expander ball can be from 1 caliber to another, I use a 6.5 to 7mm tapered expander ball to make 6.5x284 lapua brass into 284 brass. The decaping pin DOES not open up anything= the expander ball does not have to be used= except for crimped or out of shape brass mouths. But most common hunting type reloading dies Do have the expander ball that you can change. Not trying to be an ass or confuse anyone, just trying to give you the whole truth, correct names for parts, and explan the process better and give you options!
