I have a couple of Rock Chuckars, etc. I keep an old RCBS partner press here at the house to load on. My shop is 15 miles away.
Anyhow, I had this little press for 35 years. (Since I was 15) no telling what all I have put on the ram over the years to keep it running smooth.
It has always had a habit of binding up on "Gum" since I statred using it. Likely somekind of lube mixed with old powder. Its been about 15 years since I bathed it in a parts washer. I do not have access to one anymore. About every 200 strokes, she gets gummed back up until I wipe the ram down with Hoppes 9. Then it runs up and down like a machine....until it doesnt.
What in the heck do I need to put on this thing to stop this nonsense once and for all?
