Since it was time to reload from last week's match and I had already tumbled, deprimed and cleaned the primer pockets I thought I was in for a good time.
I had taken out the resizing die (they had gone through it already) but still started as normal.
About every 4 or 5 shell it was really hard to drop the ram (raise the handle). By just doing one shell at a time (Dillon as a single stage!) I found that the powder funnel (that's the tube that slides up and down in the powder measure) was hanging up inside the cases.
Quick call to Dillon and they agreed that was it. Turns out if cases are new or too clean it makes the problem worse!
So all my attempts to get my cases as clean as possible kind of backfired on me.
live and learn.
