nhyrum Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 My daa and Dillon powder funnels stick in my cases on the down stroke, I know it's because I wet tumble, which I don't want to give up. Any ideas on how to get it to not stick, without introducing a lube into the mix, and without cutting out the wet tumbling? I've recently started using hbn on my rifle and bullets, it seems like it would be a great way to sort of permanently lube the funnel. Anyone tried this?

mveto Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have to use One Shot in order to avoid the sticking cases, the one shot really smooths out the whole operation of the press. I would suggest trying some, I was hesitant when I first started using it but it really does make a huge difference in cases that have been wet tumbled.

m700 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Once your tumbler finishes drain pins and water. Fill it back up and put a capful of armorall wash/wax. It will add some lubrication but is super smooth without being sticky like a traditional case lube You only need to run for 15 min with wash/wax Edited January 10, 2020 by m700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get using it as a second wash for 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhyrum Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 hbn?Hexagonal boron nitride. It's a micro powder lubricant. in the long range rifle scene, people are coating bullets in it like they used to do with moly. But this is much cleaner than moly, doesn't burn like moly does, and is slicker. Supposed to completely get rid of the cold bore flier.I use a wash and wax, I think the brand is f1.
