CodyAxon Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I started using Hornady one shot this year when loading and never clean it off. Have not noticed and adverse effects and will continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltdmstr Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I tumble my reloaded ammo in a mini cement mixer, about a thousand at a time. If I don't, after a 300 or so round practice session, my fingers are covered with case lube and dirt. And it gets on everything I touch. Tumbling is minimal time and effort, and I'd rather do that than deal with the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If properly applied that stuff doesn’t even come off when fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSHMJ Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I used to never clean lube off .223 cases until I learned the hard way the Dillon case lube does not like cold weather. Up here in the northeast, we shoot into the cold months, and I had the lube on the brass actually congeal up and cause a jam. Now I tumble the lube off after loading. No issues since.

noylj Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 You know, I don't lube very often, but when I do, I break out my 45+ years old RCBS lube pad and case lube. I gently roll a few cases over the pad. This has always worked. I don't bother about case lube. very little is used and most of that is wiped off handling the rounds. Never had a case that was sticky, even after several years. Sticky means too much lube. I'll stick with the method that has been 100% successful so far in my life.
