I was decapping 9mm and .380 acp brass with a Lee universal decapping die. So when lowering the ram no problem until I get 3/4 down, then it gets stiff and have to give it a good push on the handle to go all the way down. When raising the ram, stiff once I get pass the "stiff" section, then goes up fine.
It was a good amount of brass, didn't count. I can only guess it is due to not cleaning the brass prior to this but part of the reason why I got a universal decapping die. Is there a cleaning method or application that is commonly use by everyone to make the ram smooth again. It won't stop me from sizing brass or seating projectiles. But as not use to it... it is annoying to live it as is. Thanks in advanced.
