die until the fill hole in the die is exposed. Insert the top of the Case Lube-2 bot-
tle in the fill hole and give the bottle one good squeeze to force the Case Lube-
2 into the Die.
INSTALLING THE LUBE DIE
The Lube Die is installed in the first station of the progressive reloading
press. Allow about 1 /
32
" (approximately 1 /
2
turn) between the bottom of the Lube
Die and the shell plate when the ram is at the top of the stroke. Position the
lube fill hole toward the front of the press so that it is easily accessible when
it's time to refill. The decapping pin should extend about
3 /
16
" below the bottom
of the die. The Lube Die must sit in the press about 30 minutes to allow the
Case Lube-2 to saturate the felt lubricating bushing. Leave the fill hole uncov-
ered until the felt bushing is saturated with lubricant. Failure to allow time for
the lubricant to saturate the felt bushing can result in a case being stuck in the
sizer die.
The decapping pin should extend 3 /
16
" below the bottom of the Lube Die.
