Case lube, one shot

[Reloadernoob]

99% alcohol is way harder to find than iso-heet

I believe red Iso-Heet is 99% isopropyl alcohol.

Been using one-shot for 5 years. I've stuck a few cases, they've all been my fault. I have a small cardboard box I can stand 75-100 rounds in that I use to spray them. Hit all 4 sides and they're ready to rock. I like the speed and not having to clean lube off.

Been using 1 shot for a couple yrs now and will be for a long time it works great

 

[6MMsteve]

works real good if you want to spray and size right then, like glass it's how I usually do it, spray n size glass

No matter the lube; lip balm, imperial, hobo , one shot, pad lube, lanolin, clean or at least wipe off the case and keep the die clean. I use one shot, never have stuck a case.

RCBS pad and lube for sizing. Graphite (ACE Hardware) to lube my necks for mandrel neck sizing and the graphite residue easily helps seat the bullets.

Enjoy the process, because there are far less enjoyable things you could be doing. But then I'm retired and don't own one of those ARs with an insatiable appetite.

Cautionary note to those with upper respiratory problems -there are two shooting related products I cannot use- One Shot and Kroil. Whatever is in those products sparks an instantaneous response to my respiratory system which won't clear up until the next day.

I accidentally cleaned and lubricated a shotgun action (Rem 1187) with Hornady one shot case lube instead of the cleaner/lube.

Was this a grievous error?

Nah, you'll probably start a trend.

I love how handy One-Shot is, and use the heck out of it. It's too expensive, but I just cut-back my Dutch Bros. habit by two a month and pick one up every now and then. jd

Only case I ever stuck was with using the Lee paste lube...I used to love that stuff until I got the case stuck in a die, where it still lives to this day. I switched to RCBS gel with pad and that stuff is like butter...but cleaning lube off afterwards is a pain.

I've been thinking about trying Hornady One Shot just so I don't have to clean the caes afterwards.

Concerning the RCBS paste and pad -- all I can say is YUKK!! I started out back when most all of us used that stuff, and jumped ship on it as soon as I tried anything else. Now I'll use Imperial for anything that might be a problem, like brass that's been fired in a foreign chamber, and big mag stuff. Most all of my standard sizing is One-Shot, even inside the necks. I also like that it seems to prevent tarnish on old loaded ammo. jd

One shot Spray=bad ju ju.

What is so bad about it?

Besides using Hornady "One Shot" Case Lube for all my case/brass sizing steps since 2004-ish, I also use it as a "release agent" for bedding and other epoxy scenario's. It's never let me down to date !.!.!

LOL. I remember trying the pad type lube back in the 80's when I started shooting. One session was enough to convince me that *anything* was better than that.

Coconut oil from any store works better than oneshot or any other case lube. Just like dip pit do one dab will do ya. Wipe off case when sized, mother nature at her best.

I'm using One Shot. It works if you use it correctly.

 

[SKWERLZ]

The secret to spray on one shot success
Spray it on like you stole it
Give it plenty of time to dry

I like it for 223 and it can really slick up pistol cases as well, used right it’s an excellent option.

I prefer hi-line or imperial for my bigger magnum cases.

Using unique for case forming and imperial wax for normal sizing along with imperial dry neck lube in bushing dies on necks.still using lee collet die with no lube for some cartridges .
I'm not loading anything in large volume though.
Hows the one shot work far as not bumping shoulders back unnecessarily? Sounds like it has no effect if that many of y'all are using it?I hate anything aerosol if I can avoid it but might give it a try for 5.56 or something similar in large batches

Same experience with the RCBS lube pad...Still have the original bottle of lube from the 80's!

I primarily use lanolin spray and it works great for me. I use imperial sizing lube as well but slower and makes mess of fingers.

I have had a can of one shot for a couple of years and I use it every now and then after cleaning dies, but I can't stand the smell of it and it just doesn't feel like it lubes as well. I do like the fact that you don't have to clean off cases afterwards though.
