Hornady .270 dies

[Gmurray70]

For some reason my re sizing die for my .270 is always extremely hard to and sticky to use. The die is a Hornady die and I use the Hornady lubricant for it. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or what I could do to try and stop it from being so hard? As soon as I thrust the casing all the way up into the die it is extremely hard to get to come down. I’ve never had this problem with anything else!

I'd give them a call. I had a 30-06 sizing die that did the same thing and they replaced it. Only one out of a dozen sets of Hornady dies that have done that.

It’s odd you posted this because I have the exact same issue. A brand new set of Hornady dies in 270. The FL sizing die sticks. I too use One Shot lube and make sure to get plenty in the case mouth. Die was degreased per their instructions and a light coat of one shot in the die. I had purchased some RCBS dies before the Hornady dies and the RCBS sizing die is much smoother, so now I use that to size and the Hornady seating die because I like that it has the sliding bullet alignment sleeve. Maybe I’ll give Hornady a call to see if they’ll look at the sizing die.
