I chucked that away and bought the RCBS rockchucker... never looked back.

Oh,. Dont use the Lee cases sizing lube - its crap too.

Find something lanolin based (( Hornady Unique, for example ) others will input here Im sure)

Well I'm going to disagree on the lube bit. I've used just about everything else commercially available in NZ. I've had issues with all of them no doubt in some instances thru user ineptitude but I can tell you the Lee stuff is fantastic for rifle calibres applied with the fingers. YouTube is your friend re how much and technique. However for Pistol brass I use the Dillon Lanolin based spray, a couple of squirts into the bottom of an old ice cream container, drop your brass in, lid on, shake it all around and away you go. Do that with rifle brass and see if you can count the dimples in the case shoulders.
