![]() I looked at the head stamp and I initially thought it said Magtech which I know I've reloaded some and never had a problem with. ![]() Visual inspection of the case and it looked normal and very clean. I unscrewed the decapping rod and removed it and put a punch down in it and started tapping with increasing intensity and about when I thought we needed to try another method it budged a little and a few more taps and it was out. When I get there I put a little extra force on it just shy up ripping the rim off and or deforming the shell plate and yep, it's stuck. Now I know he's using carbide resizing dies and I know he cleans his brass before reloading so I said don't do anything else I want to see it. So I tell him he has a stuck case and believe it or not his first one since he started loading about 4 months ago. ![]() He tells me that on the the upstroke, as you push the down, he could hear (a distinct sound on a Dillon if you have one) the spent primer pop out of the case being resized and then everything locked up. So after a couple of months of rolling along and reloading everything he can get his hands on he gives me a call. Not that it really matters what kind of press he has but it's a Dillon 650XL. He's well seasoned in shot shell reloading so the learning curve was minimal but of course, he made the usual Uhh Ohhs we all make at first and then occasionally along the way due to negligence or just momentary lack of undivided attention. I have a shooting friend that started reloading metallic case ammo earlier this year. Mostly an FYI and curious if anyone else has experience with Maxxtech
