When I place a RGL on station one on my MEC JR (primer removal stn) the hull sticks to the tube and is difficult to remove remove - Suggested cure? |

To make it clearer, the tube seems wider than the inside body of the hull and the whole length is difficult to remove from the de-caping tube. I l have to twist wiggle the hull and pull down with a bit of force to get it off. Slows the process down a lot and is very hard on my thumb and fore finger.
BTW thanks Mike sorry for the confusion! |

It' those crispy crimps. You need to open em up a bit. A brass Plum Bob from Menards for $5.00 works great! If you have a funnel with a taper on the neck that opens the crimp up ,that will work too. I have a $2.00 set from WalMart that I keep on the bench. |

I have the 12ga MEC sitting right next to the 16 . Just push the cases up on the 12ga plunger(primer seater) and spin a bit - loosens the RGL's up . The tight is the feature of the RGL that is unique and helpful some . The RGL's seem to cushion the shot blow some being thicker . Too bad the plastic isn't a bit better qual . The thick is why a lot of us use 20ga wads effectively . |

Crispy crimps. I like that. BTW, whatever happened to Krispy Kreme donuts? They were everywhere a while back, but they've sort of disappeared. Just another media mad fad gone south I guess.
I know, there's no correlation but the question just popped into my noggin. |
