I have ruined at least one sizing die by getting a bullet stuck in it and another I have a bullet stuck in it, but haven't tried to get it out because was not sure how to do it. Today I finished another project (a cabinet to hold my dies on Dillon tool heads) and decided to try to finish sizing my .357 bullets. These bullets I cast and then powder coated with John Deere green. The last batch I coated I either cooked too long or the parchment paper was used once too often as the parchment paper just crumbled and the bullets turned a much darker green almost brown color. Those darker ones were harder to size and sure enough I got one stuck. Since this was a Lee sizing die (.358 and brand new) I decided to try using my drill press to drill out the bullet. I did it and am not sure whether I hurt the die or not, but continued on sizing the rest of the bullets. This time I sprayed the inside of the sizing die with One Shot every once in a while. It said on the can that it does not harm primers or powder, so thought why not try. It did help, but the dark ones were still difficult and some lead was shaved off some of them. I kept these bullets separate. Should I clean them with something or will they be okay with the little One Shot that may be on them? I probably should also clean up the inside of the die with sandpaper or something. How does one do that? Finally, what the heck am I doing wrong to keep getting bullets stuck? At first I had the die screwed too far in but since have not screwed in further in than the bottom of the nut on the Rockchucker Supreme. I don't think I can go much higher but maybe? Any ideas you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
