I have a Rock Chucker Supreme, and when I'm lowering the ram to remove a shell that has been decapped and sized, it locks up about halfway down, and I have to slam it in order to get it to drop all the way. Only happens when there's a shell in it after decapping and sizing, but it doesn't happen when there's no shell or when the bullet is seated. Am I missing some point of lubrication? Thanks.
Are you able to record this? If so, send it to my email. mattsreloadingbench@gmail.com Otherwise we could maybe set up a zoom meeting. I can look at the video and see if there might be a solution. That should definitely NOT be happening.
At the top of the size die, your case neck gets sized down a little too far because different brands of brass have slightly different neck wall thickness so it must work with all of them. Then, to set proper neck tension, the neck gets pulled over the expander ball at the bottom of the die. To make it easier, wipe a little case lube wax on the expander ball or dip the case neck in dry powder lube such as the spherical media type from Redding.
Hey man, what you do with your coffee cup is what you do with your coffee cup. No judgment. The point in this video is that maintenance on your press can contribute to better consistency. Especially when you use one press for all processes of your brass prep and bullet seating. Thanks for watching!
My 61 pre rock chucker was filthy! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
My 1973 Rock Chucker has produced one half million rnds now. And still Rock'n.
That's awesome!
I needed this reminder. Thank you. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Great job!
Thanks!
I have an old 1977 vintage RC with the pale green paint that could use some cleaning up. Paint is in great shape just a little dirty.
Ot does not take much to get it looking great again!

Would you ever use normal gun oil/cleaner/ lube? Such as Slip 2000, Breakfree CLP, etc, for the clean and lube? New to reloading
Anything that you would use to clean a firearm would work just fine for cleaning your reloading press. That is heat I usually use.
@@mattsreloadingbenchroger that, thank you for your input!
I try to do this every 2 to 3 months .
Same here.
I suppose that next youll want me to wash my coffee cup too. Not happening.
