So I have owned, and been using, my RCBS LAM2 for about 3 weeks now, and I have noticed something peculiar. So here are the specifics:

I have only used White Label BAC in it;
I have used it for .358 and .452;
my .452 die is RCBS and my .358 die is Lyman;

Now, the quirk I have noticed is that when I use the Lyman die, once the lube reservoir gets down to about half-full it seems to take quite a bit of force to get the lube to flow, but I have not had this problem with the RCBS die. At first I thought maybe the room was colder than it had been before so I warmed up my LAM2 a bit with a hair dryer and, oh boy, does the BAC flow like crazy and get very sticky. It's not that big of deal, my solution has been to cut my lube sticks into 3rds and keep the reservoir pretty well topped off when I am using my Lyman .358 die. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the input.

I use both brands of dies in my older RCBS machines and have not noticed any difference.
