Thread: Dented cases when sizing

Anywhere that stocks tools will have it

Mitre 10 sells wee tubs of graphite

I used to dent heaps so switched to sizing die wax and never had an issue since

My 7mm08 dies are more susceptible to this as they're std Redding ones that aren't vented.
I'm more careful and use wax rather than my usual neatsfoot oil.
As stated doesn't matter a bit for shooting. Just looks a bit shit when handing over a batch to your mate for his rifle.

Graphite powder and imperial wax. Before then I was regularly denting cases....personality fault where more must be better.

Imperial sizing wax does the job.
Use disposal gloves. Wee dab of wax on index finger. Transfer a spot to the case neck.
Gently rub neck and shoulder in fingers before full length sizing - ever had a stuck case or a dent.

Ultrasonic machine to clean, 120 C fan bake to dry, cool on towel.
