FalseI hate to say it, but I do not think you can equal Imperial’s effectiveness with ANY spray lube.
What's a ozone layer?My goodness, men! Don’t you know what those aerosols are doing to the ozone layer?!?
Every body finds a method that works for them. That’s great. When I was younger, I searched and tried different things. Maybe I got too old? Maybe I got tired of being yelled at by my wife for stealing her cookie sheet. Either way, I stopped looking when I found the Imperial method.![]()
With much hope, I’ve tried several of the spray lubes, (Dillon, Red Rooster, One Shot), trying to lube a bunch of cases at a time. I even stood them up in lines, and sprayed down at a 45° angle in order to get the lube inside the necks as well. Even after assuring that I had total coverage of the cases, I found that more pressure is needed on the press handle for sizing, verses Imperial lube. With this, I have also noticed more pulling on the necks of the spray lubed cases. For this reason, i’ve abandoned all spray lube‘s and use only imperial.
And use "heat" that you can purchase at any auto parts store or wally world for the alcohol, does a great job!More like 1:10 by volume, give or take.
I use an old plastic Walmart meat pan. I lay 50 pcs of brass and give it one quick spray of lanolin/alcohol. Shake them up and they are ready to go.
