Which case lube are you using?

it looks like brass is building up in the bushing from not enough lube. guess how i know?___treeman

SanQ,

Is that by chance a TIN Redding bushing, I have one TIN redding bushing that scratches the case a little. Sent it back to Redding and the replacement does not scratch at all. I always use Imprial Wax for a lube even with TIN bushings.


It looks to me as if the bushing was not polished out. Why dont you give Redding a call, they are very easy to deal with.

In my experience,

Wilson bushings are almost the equal, and most times, as good as, the coated bushings for less money.

I've only had a couple of the Redding steel bushings, and to put it mildly, they suck. SanQ, looks like that's what your using. I tried polishing mine out with steel wool and Flitz several times, spinning it till it got too hot to hang on to.
I tried all kinds of lube also. Nothing helped, except a new coated one, and my troubles went bye bye.

I don't lube my coated ones, either.

Do the Wilson bushings fit the Redding dies?

 

[chuckw2]

Wilson bushings will fit Redding dies...

Thanks. Good to know. Sometimes the suppliers have been out of Redding but in stock on Wilsons.

I've had the same problem,so I lubed the neck more and that didn't help. I tried deburing the outside of the neck before sizing and that took away all marks.Seems that the case caused the marks them self.Still gotta lube the necks.
