Lube Die

[Hairtrigger]

Does anyone here use a RCBS lube die for Rifle cases?

I am trying to use one with the RCBS lube but the lube seems too thick to go from the little bottle thry the small hole in the lube die.

HELP!

Fergit' the lube die, it's nothing but a pain in the a$$ and a real mess to boot ;-/

Just get a bottle of the Dillon spray on case lube, lay the cases in a large shallow cardboard box, spritz them in bulk and shake the box around a little just before you re-size them. Nothing works better than the Dillon spray lube applied like this PERIOD

I was hoping not to hear that, I do not like the sticky dillon lube, I much prefer the Hornady Spray Lube. I guess what I was hoping for was to have someone reccomend a lube that will work with the lube die.

I have removed the RCBS lube die turned it upside down , filled it with lube and let it set overnite. This works for a few hundred shells before needing more lube

Hornady spray is fine, but I find I never get stuck cases with the Dillon stuff whereas the only folk I know who have had stuck cases have also been using the Hornady One Shot stuff.

The stickiness can either be tumbled off, rolled off on a large towel with denatured alchohol on it, or it really can just be left on and shot as is to no detriment whatsoever.

I love the Hornady One Shot. But I recently had a stuck case (30'06) using it and I have never had one with the Dillon lube. Have only been using the One Shot on big rifle cases for a short time. Have used it on pistol and 223 for a couple of years or so.

My "plan" is to keep using the One Shot on bigger rifle cases unless and until I get another one. If that happens, I will go back to Dillon for these larger cases.

BTW, it is a wonderful thing that Dillon makes their rifle resizing dies so easy to use as a stuck case remover. Really saves a lot of time and lots of trouble.
