Hornady 1 shot - lubing 1k+ cases at a time

[MHitchcock]

I've just been running dry (no lube) on a 650 with carbide dies but switching to a 1050 and thinking about adding some 1-shot to my reloading routine.

 

Most of the brass prep I see with one shot involves a ziplock bag or a few hundred cases in a cardboard box. Just doesn't seem efficient to me.

 

Curious if anyone has a good process for prepping large amounts of brass with one-shot. Can I just use a big plastic bin, spray over the top, mix around, and repeat a few times? or will that allow too much 1 shot into the cases? 

 

Any input appreciated

I use a plastic shoe box. Dump a few handfuls in, spray shake spray. Dump to another container. Repeat until all your brass is lubed.

 

OneShot or Dillon case lube. I do I the same way for both.

I use old cake pans or cookie sheets. Well, I use them then my wife buys  more...

I lay the cases down (prob 300 ish) , spray and shake.

repeat as necessary.

 

watch out for that wife thing tho...

if your talking pistol brass, no problem.

Pick your container, and spray the empty container.

 

THEN, load the 1,000 pieces of brass in and shake  -   doesn't take much lube

Plastic bags will work as well.

Am I the only one that just sprays them each time I put a batch in the case feeder?

No, I used to do that. Now I do "production" runs of 500 or so rounds in ~30 minute before work. So it really helps to have everything ready to go and not "waste" time lubing cases. I've got 5,000? lubed in a bucket ready to load.

I use 1-shot for pistol. Makes the whole process smoother. Also, it's a dry lube and not an issue if you get it inside the case. Dillon says it's a non-issue with their spray lube too but I only use Dillon for rifle cases.

Me to. There is a limitation to how much brass the shorter can hold and that’s what I’ll generally bag and spritz.

I’m typically running 3K rounds in a session on a Mk7 and don’t see where it’s particularly time consuming or inefficient.

Heck, you gotta have something to do while the thing runs!
