Thread: Lube Cases?

Neck sizing - Hornady One Shot spray (the aerosol one), Angle spray so that the inside of neck is also lubed. I use a wooden loading block that only has the necks showing. One Shot just loves plastic trays ha ha.
FLSing - Stamp Pad and any of the good liquid lube oils. I use Lyman. Small wipe with same oil on cotton bud inside necks.
Case Forming - There is only 1 lube and I use Imperial Sizing Wax.
Hornady One Shot needs minimal clean up. DON'T BE TEMPTED TO USE IT FOR FLSING.
I keep clear of any water based lubes - snake oil - apart from potential corrosion issues they just don't posses the lubrication qualities of the likes of Imperial.

I have used my first can of one shot and justed cracked the second last night.
I came up with a cunning plan of spraying the neck up in the block from 4 directions but then to get the lube to the bottom where its needed i put another tray on top and flipped it over so they were upside down and sprayed their bums!
Worked a treat and the brass was really smooth through the press so just a bit of lateral thinking has done the trick.
I rate the stuff personally and wilk be putting my third can into stock soon!

I use the spray can version of "one shot" Put them In a plastic container (plastic coleslaw or margarine) standing up and then just spray over the whole lot on an angle
I then size and later run them through a media tumbler.
NEVER EVER use the "pump spray one shot"
It's completely different product than the spray can version and will result in stuck cases
I've full length sized many thousands of cases this way using the spray cans with never having had a stuck case

I normally give a good spray then let stand for a couple of minutes and then give another light spray just before I size

I couldn't be bothered with the old fashioned way of lubeing

Forgot to add that if your neck sizing the full up a pill bottle with powdered graphite available from any hardware store, and dip the necks in, tap off the extra graphite and then neck size as normal

A bit dirty but works a treat

Anyone tested 'CRC Dry Glide with PTFE' for resizing ? It would be an interesting option if it works well.
