Squirrel45 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) What do you guys prefer, One shot or Dillon lube? Forgot to mention this would be for pistol cases. Edited July 24, 2023 by Squirrel45 Added information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 One shot works great but in my opinion dillon lube is better. BUT Dillon leaves a lot of residue on the brass, gums up Casefeeder etc so I went back to one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leezway Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 One shot works best for me… I agree with Sarge it absolutely leaves less residue than the Dillon lube…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I also use one shot. If I think the cases are too oily, then I'll throw them in the tumbler for 10-15 minutes. FWIW, I've also used the home brew of Lanolin and alcohol. It's just easier with one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Thanks guys sounds like I'll stick with the one shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Make your own with Stabil, and pure lanolin. Get the red container of stabil its 100% alcohol. Mix it 12 to 1. Mix in a spray bottle. Works better than one shot, and way cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said it is considerably gunky and leaves way to much residue. One shot is nearly as good with little to no mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part_time_redneck Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Last time I cleaned a batch of brass I tried something a bit different. I wet tumble in a cement mixer and do the Dawn / Lemmishine thing then wash and wax. Also Lanolin/ 99% for lube. This time after wash and wax I drained water, refilled and added about 1.5oz of Lanolin and ran for 10 minutes then didn’t rinse off. Have been loading with no additional lube and this has worked pretty well. I still after loading 3-4 hundred spread them out on a towel and wipe off with alcohol to remove any excess. This has worked well and gets rid of the gunk issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuey Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I use One Shot also, it is easier getting it off than Dillions. Dillions is good, but gunks up dies after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m700 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 One shot is fine with pistol loading. I dont think it does the job on necked cases. something lanolin/alcohol based works better for that. I had a few cans of one shot but once they were used up I stick to the DIY stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beltfedgoodness Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I’ve had great luck for one shot on everything except 50BMG for that the Lee paste actually was the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyd Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I use one shot on straight wall revolver cases, if I am doing rifle use Imperial Sizing Wax made by Redding now. The one shot just makes the progressive press work easier for loading pistol rounds even with carbide dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchuhmTi Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 WD 40 for 9mm and .223 at an automated Dillon 1100. Over 10k on each without issue. Easy to clean the cases afterwards and the casefeederbowl can be just whiped with a tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting as I have always been taught to keep WD40 away from ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
