    This is a new fail

    Bloody hell!
    Just going to resize a bit of brass and it rips the ram apart!
    It has lasted along time to be fair.
    Might see if reloaders have a spare part as simple but works!

    And a bloody stuck case to boot.
    No good deed goes unpunished as was going to make some hand loads up for the neighbour's 300 win mag.
    I blame the rimmed case

    Use Redding sizing wax for the least effort required.

    And that’s your second fail, you should have been in the kitchen tidying up after dinner

    Put the die in the press upside down ( from underneath) and remove the expander

    Then push the brass out (up) with the right drift punch with the ram
    flock and witchcraft like this.

    I can't get the expander ball out.
    Would work fine with bushing dies.
    Got one problem solved but no bloody primer catcher
