nikdanja Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Winter is here and it’s time to lead rifle cases. Never loaded them with my 650 and wondering if you guys lube your unsized cases then put them into your case feeder. Not sure on how to do this efficiently because I’m thinking my feeder and tube will get all gunned up. What so do you guys do? Im loading .223, 308, 3006, 7.5x55 Swiss.

techj Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Only if I'm going to do 1,000+ to make it worth my while to clean the case feeder et al. FWIW I use isopropyl alcohol to clean everything afterwards and it does take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 after, i spray some simple green on some paper towels and wipe the feeder out really good. pull the tube and spray it with simple green then flush well with hot water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I must use a whole lot less lube than others do. I lube every case that I reload - pistol and rifle. I've never had to clean out my case feeder hopper, shell plate, or tube. They just aren't gummy and there's no buildup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcambre Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I just do a big batch on my 650 and then clean with Simple Green afterwards. I use a cleaning rod with paper towels and a .45 jag to clean the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedupflyer Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I use a separate case feed tube just for lubed cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donald Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I use a mix of Crud Cutter and warm water. The plate I just take out a wash in the sink with Crud Cutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrs Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yes, using Dillon case lube. I don't really clean it, either, and it does not seem to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I just wipe mine down after with some 91% rubbing alcohol and paper towel. Also run a "patch" down the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austings Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I spray them outside of the feeder. Then when done loading I wipe it all down with simple green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I use it on my 38 Super Comp and 223 is makes everything run a bit smoother. No build up even after 1000s of rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
