LawDog64 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I have recently started using case lube while loading my 9mm loads to make things go a little smoother. Today I found some cases I didn't get to load during my last session and had already sprayed with Dillon case lube. I noticed the cases seemed to feel sticky and gummy. I now have a fear that my loaded rounds are probably in the same boat as I didn't tumble my loaded rounds. I have two questions: 1. Is this normal or am I using too much case lube. 2. Whats the best way to clean the case lube off without damaging the coating on The Blue Bullets? I know people tumble their loaded rounds I just don't want to expose the lead on these bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I never clean case lube off my loaded pistol rounds. I have used RCBS Caseslick spray and now the DIY version of the Dillon case lube you can find on the net. I just put a couple sprays in a tupper ware container, dump some brass in, do one more small squirt and shake. Never noticed much in terms of stickness you might be using a little bit too much. Hopefully someone else has an idea on removing the case lube (if you so desire). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger123 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 if you live in a sandy or dust area taking off the lube is a good idea. just put the rounds in your tumbler with corncob and tumble for 1/2 hour. if the coating comes off in 1/2 hour of tumbling something is not right with it . tumbled thousands of coated rounds and they never too the coating off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinceislander Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I lay a small towel down, spread the loaded rounds across half, fold over and rub/roll for a few passes. It is gets most of the lube off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRobson Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Use hornady one shot lube instead. It doesn't get sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I use one shot but still don't like the lube on the loaded rounds. I spray them down with some 90% alcohol sling them back and forth in a towel to get the lube off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinSC Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I lay a small towel down, spread the loaded rounds across half, fold over and rub/roll for a few passes. It is gets most of the lube off. This^^^ I have a specific towel i use, spray it down with Silicon Spray then wipe the rounds after i load them. i can get through 500 rounds in less than 5 minutes. wipes the case lube off, and then the bullets are a little slick. win-win.

e4effort Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I throw them into my dry tumbler with just some dry media no additives for 10 minutes and they come out nice and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
