One shot case lube

[Bottom Fodder]

Well after using one shot case lube to size about 300 cases from 223 to 6.5- 284 I’m very happy with the results.

 

[GLShooter]

Been using it for decades with great results.

It has gotten a bad rap on the web forums, but in my opinion that is not deserved.

No matter what is said in favor, a significant number of folks will jump on with negatives.

So, I am not dismissing the folks who go negative on it, but, those comments are taken with a grain of salt since some folks are not metal workers or used to working in industrial settings.

Is this particular method that much riskier than any other? Not really, unless you are blind to the risks.

When used as intended, there have been too many trouble-free runs with this to say it doesn't work as well as any other method... when properly done.

To be fair, I have un-stuck many dies for folks so the risks are worth mentioning.

I have never had a problem with it and treat it like another tool in the tool box. In some places, this stuff makes the most sense, in others it is something else. YMMV

I spent most of my working life in maintenance and a lot of problems were caused by “operator error” lol. Fclass John did a video on his method which I use but only put about 10 in the baggie at a time

I use it and find it works pretty good. If you follow the instructions and clean any other lube out of your die it'll work fine. The only problem I have with it is it makes a mess of the loading block I use to hold the cases when spraying. Not a big deal because I have 2 loading blocks dedicated for it.

 

[F Class John]

Biggest warning I give people is that is DOES NOT PLAY WELL with other lubes. If you have a die that's used other lubes they need to be 100% cleaned (brake cleaner and such) and then seasoned with One Shot. I use a bore mop with a patch on it to get up in there. Let the brass sit and off gas as well. I know people have issues with it, I've seen dies get stuck, I understand the vitriol for it, and I know that's it's one of the major banes of existence for several die manufacturers but there are plenty of people who get great results with it as well. I would still be using it if I wasn't trying to cut back on things in a spray can.

I've used Hornaday One Shot case lube for years on everything from 17 Remington to 338 Win. Mag. I concur with RegionRat about the bad raps seen on a few forums. I truly believe that some are purchasing the Hornaday One Shot Cleaning and Lube instead of the Case
Lube. Both products look very similar and care must be taken to ensure the correct product for the intended purpose. I do know that I have lubed many, many thousands of cases with it and have never stuck a case. Hope I didn't jinks myself..LOL

 

[D Coots]

Been using it for years in my dedicated Neil Jones dies in my Dillon 550 when loading prairie dog ammo. Thousands.

NEVER A STUCK CASE

I've used it and no issues. Stood the brass on a board and sprayed on four sides. Worked fine. Also put an initial spray into the die.

Was hopping you would chime in and link the video,
Thanks

I just place the brass on a cookie sheet and spray. After a few seconds, roll them by hand. I use Hornady Case Sizing Lube with a mix of 1 1/2 oz of lube to 12 oz of 99% alcohol.

I use RCBS case slick. I put 12 pieces of brass on a RCBS foam pad give it a couple of little squirts roll them with my hand good to go. No mess no fuss, works great. If your case goes into a resizing die hard you don't have enough Lube.

 

[FTR_Mojo]

Been using one shot for years. Never had a problem. I spray the loading block from opposite sides then let it sit for 5 minutes.
Good advice from f class John about not mixing other lubes with it.

 

[itchyTF]

My problem with it is that I've bought a number of cans when on sale then don't shoot much. Find out when I want to use it, it's out of gas. Probably because it's been sitting on the shelf for years.

 

[Timon]

I used it for a bit, a while back. I never stuck a case, but it was a cost thing for me. I would put 50 cases on a loading block, then spray all the way around the cases. I just found that using it that way, there was a terrible amount of wasted product. Then with the spray going all over the place, I had to buy a can pretty frequently. I did not know about using a bag at the time, clearly that would help quite a bit in its use.

At any rate, I switched to Imperial a long time ago and have never switched to anything else. Those tiny little tins of the stuff seem to last forever. I also, during the time with Imperial, have ever stuck a case

Yup been using it over 20 years and it works great from .223 up to magnums. Only people who have problems with it are the ones that don’t read the directions.

 

[gmr4]

I use it because Eric Cortina doesnt like it, at all. Kidding… I use it and never had an issue. Some people dont read the directions and it is ugly. Some people pipe in on it because they like to-pipe in on things they have never used.

 

[lb-ft]

It’s all I use for brass that is brand new or fired only in my chamber.

Royal Case Lube is all I use for pickup brass or aggressive wildcats.

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

I use a Ziploc 1 gal bag, shake and flash off. Size, wipe with an alcohol wet rag. If you have one shot lube in the flash hole, you sprayed too much.

 

[Rob01]

I use a ziplock bag too. I layer them in, spray them, roll it, spray again and dump into a box and then go back and repeat. After I size I toss them in the tumbler for about 15 minutes and done. One Shot won’t contaminate primers or powder.
