h2osport Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 One shot for pistol cases sprayed on in the tray right before I load them. Dillon/midway for the rifle cases sprayed on in a cardboard box and rolled around. The Dillon and Midway do need to be cleaned off after you load your ammo, but not even close to a stuck case.

Thomas Moore Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 i spray "One Shot" right in the cases while they are in the casefeed. The cases will roll over one another and distribute the lube evenly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryO Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Here's a tip I picked up on this forum. Dust your cases with teflon powder when they are in the casefeeeder. I'ts inert, doesn't evaporate, is inexpensive since you use very little (1/2 lb may last a lifetime) and makes your reloader run like silk. This is especially true if you're using an undersized die. I didn't use any lube before trying this and thought it was unnecessary. Now that I've tried it I've never go back. To find teflon powder just google "teflon powder". I bought it from a piano repair place in Northern California. I've also seen someone on eBay selling something like 5 or 10 pounds for $20 plus $18 shipping. 5 pounds would last several lifetimes.

A question on the teflon powder. How dusty is it when you drop it into the hopper? Do you wear a mask? Do you wear surgical gloves? That stuff, I believe, is a carcinogen.

RePete Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I sent an e-mail to Hornady requesting the MSDS sheet for One Shot. It's 96% Hexane. Hexane is made from crude oil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexane OneShot_Case_Lube_MSDS.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCKev Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I've used OneShot for all my rifle reloading and so far I've never had a problem but my buddy stuck a case just a couple of day's ago. Are you letting it dry for the alotted time? I think if you don't let it dry you run into sticking problem's just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I finally got me some of the much touted one shot. I used it and compared it to the pure silicone spray I have been using. I found there to be nothing special about one shot. I am only loading 9mm so the rifle sizing issues don't matter to me. If I use both products the same I.E spray a very small amount in a baggie and shake, the ACE brand silicone spray is just as slick plus costs about 1/3d as much and leaves nothing but slick rounds to load. I have loaded hundreds and have had no problems with my ammo. I also picked up some lanolin tonight to see if it works as posted. I'll let you know.

KenOrris Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I don't use any lube on my .45 cases. But use it for .223 and .308. I have a lot of different lubes and they all werk pretty good. I think there is a diffence with each can of One Shot, I have had some that lube well, and the next can was worthless. The Dillon IMO is beter than the Hornady because its seems thicker, but you don't really need thicker for .223. Today I was Small Base sizing some brass for my extra tight .308 Palma rifle chamber, the One Shot wss worthless, they started sticking going in. I went right for the Imperial Sizing Wax for this extreem chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&W627shooter Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I use Lee Resizing Lubricant in a 1:10 solution with alcohol in a spray bottle. It comes in a 2 oz bottle of paste--very cheap, leaves no residue on the cases, and it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kar45 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Try the Hornaday One-Shot Cleaner-Lubricant. It doesn't have the stinky-foot odor that the case lube has. Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et45 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I spray the One Shot on .223.I spray it on liberaly while the cases are in the tray.After loading I tumble clean the loaded rds. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sr20ve Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) This is the cheapest and best case lube method I have found, and I use it for both pistol and rifle cartridges. Basically a home-brew version of Dillon spray lube but much cheaper than any commercial product. Works much better than Hornady One-Shot in my experience, night and day difference. I tried the "dab of lube on your hands and run them through the cases" method (which works pretty dang well), but the spray method is a little more convenient and lubes more uniformly in my opinion.4 ounces Liquid Lanolin from the local health food store: $7.00 16 ounce bottle of 91% Isopropyl Alcohol from Walmart: $2.00 General purpose spray bottle (free, liberated it from my wife's cleaning supplies) old pillow case (free, again liberated from the linen closet) Result: 20 ounces of spray lube for under 10 bucks. 2 oz tube of Lee Lube only $3.00 Add 20 oz of 99 % Alcohol from Supermarket/Drug Store. 22oz of lube only under $5.00. Never tried it with rifle but it's plenty for pistol. Edited May 2, 2009 by 98sr20ve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
