Dimple in resized case

[Usurper]

I do not think we have to split the atom to find a solution for dimpled cases.

I'll call the boys at the lab and tell them to cancel the project

Seems fine, nothing unusual.
All good thanks - used less spray and gave them a good shake in the box afterwards and nomoredimples,
Thanks all

Good to hear that all is good.
Simple solution, safe outcome

The solution was simple but is not the same thing as the cause !

Cool

I've had this happen a few times too, guess I know what I did wrong now.

My first set did the same. Now using a lube pad with Dillon spray. Shake before use, only spray the body,not the necks and wait a few seconds for the alcohol to evaporate. Roll the cases to distribute it lightly and evenly on the body and dip the neck in a dry lubricant before sizing. Have heard of graphite in a jar of lead shot with a shake every few dips to recoat the shot in graphite. I am just using the mica powder that came with an RCBS case mate.

Also check the pressure hole in the die isn't obscured. RCBS resizing dies for example have a small hole in the side of the thread to allow air trapped to escape during the upstroke. This hole may have crap in it from manufacture. A paper clip is the right size to clean it out if obstructed, but my locking ring sits right over it and I don't get the full air flow, however has been no dramas so far.

PS, don't chuck the dimpled cases. As long as the case isn't creased (and mine weren't as bad as the photo) they should fire form back into shape in the chamber and you'll be right.

Lube Detonation!!
I agree it is a new one on me. Another myth in the reloading world? Sometimes I think people are trying to over complicate a reasonably simple process with complex answers. Each step in the reloading process is reasonably basic. You can keep each step very simple and still keep it safe, or you can get right up to the OCD stage and have fantastic results. I am somewhere in the middle. Sometimes we all make mistakes and bend a few cases or seat a projectile poorly. We learn from the mistake and dont make it again.

I suggest you look it up first before you open your mouth .
