RCBS Competition Dies - Manual (Page 8)

PREPARING THE CASES
Clean and inspect cases before lubricating and sizing. Discard any cases
with indications of a split neck or partial head separation. Check cases for the
correct overall length and trim if necessary. If bullets are to be crimped, it is
imperative that cases be trimmed to the same overall length. Trimmed case
mouths should be deburred and lightly chamferred inside and out with an RCBS
Deburring Tool.
Lightly chamfer the case mouth with
an RCBS Deburring Tool.
Roll cases on an RCBS Case Lube
Pad for proper lubrication.
Cases must be properly lubricated before sizing. Over-lubrication will result in
a dented case shoulder. Improper or no lubrication will result in a case stuck in
the Sizer Die. For best results use only RCBS Case Lube-2 applied to an
RCBS Case Lube Pad. Case mouths should be very lightly lubricated with an
RCBS Case Neck Brush. These accessories are available from your dealer as
individual items or combined in the RCBS Case Lube Kit.
Do not lubricate the shoulders of bottle-neck type cases. After the cases are
lubricated they are ready to go through the reloading steps.
