Tubs Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 My reloading press has suddenly started to go very stiff and the handle will hardly move up or down I can almost lift myself off the ground to try and make it move, I can't see how or what's causing the problem any ideas it's a Rcbs rockchucker press. When not in use it's always covered up to help keep it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Strip it, give it a good clean in solvent then put it back together having given it a good oiling. Bet you have some brass swarf wedged in the piston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha1 Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Spray it with WD40. The ram probably needs cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadcenter Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Whenever my rockchucker get less smooth I give the ram a clean with WD40 or Ballistol on a cloth, wipe it dry and lube it again with a light coat of light oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
