Lee die help
I have been trying to resize my 270 brass on my lee turret press. I am using the lee resizing/decapper die. It is taking a LOT of force to do it. I know at first everybody will say case lube, but I am using adequate amounts of Dillon spray lube. If anything, because its so tight, I am probably using too much lube. Does anybody know what could be causing this and how to fix it?

Have you let the lube dry?

Yea Jonk, I was just about to type that I got it working because the bottle says to let dry for 5 mins, I did that but it was still tough. But in the meantime, while I was typing the question, it dried more and I tried again and it worked. Thanks though.

make sure the shellplate is aligned properly with the decapper. the decapper is a tight fit to begin with, so any misalignment, no matter how small will make it very hard to use. the other dies may work fine, but that is because they are not as tight as the decapper-

I do not have a turret press, but would think a good "O" or "D" single stage press would be much more preferable for forming brass. Some calibers take quite a bit of force! Once it is formed, I can then reload either in the Lyman Orange Crusher press it was formed in, or go to my Dillon 550B. Emery 0
