RTO Machine is leaving a fold/crease on the finished cartridge (10 bor

[bishop]

I remember putting something on the brass die to help stop this happening.Its not busted chipped or "broken" and i cant remember why it does this as i aint used it in 15 seasons!!!! Any ideas??

I use a bit of Vaseline.

 

Also, do not use too much pressure as this can also 'chomp down' on the case.

[Continental Shooter]

yeah, silicone or Teflon oil would suffice, alternatively, a heat resistant lubricant would do the job

You HAVNT got a piece of ️️shot fast in it have you,?.

[bishop]

Dun think so i washed it out and lubes it up.the problem is this--apply pressure to the clamp that pushes the brass and then turn,thats when it starts to fold in on itself as a fold/ tram line..and its not a lot of pressure im talking about..you need some to get it to do the job after all! I've tried all ways but it seems humped.

To much pressure and not enough turning! Jim

[bishop]

if i turned it any faster i could power the street lights in Kirkcaldy Jim!

Im off out today to find a better table clamp so as to try and regulate the amount of pressure but i remember my old man doing shells with this when i was a teenager and getting ****ty RTO jobs.He didnt care as it was lead of course and they all dropped gees pretty or not.
