Solvent for One Shot spray case lube ?

I don't clean it off.

I started wiping/twisting the loaded case with a partly damp paper towel of Acetone after seating, then drop them in the MTM box.

There isn’t any solvent that I know of that you should have repeated skin contact with. I use a petroleum based lube and wipe it off with a paper towel. Petroleum oil should be much less hazardous than solvent. Sometimes I lay them out in the driveway on a paper towel and spray them with brake cleaner and let them dry before touching.

I promise you guys, you really don't need to clean it off. Just try it for yourself and see if it causes any problems. I have loaded thousands and thousands of rounds this way, up to and including 1000 yard match ammo, and I have never seen any negative effects on target, or on the chrono. Looks like the AMU feels the same way.
 
The problem with any of the spray lubes is, if planning on leaving t on the cases, is getting the same amount in the necks. I throw 'm in the tumbler full of untreated media that I use just for that purpose (re-use it) and tumble for an hour. I stuck my first cases in a sizing die using one-shot. I hate waiting for the solvent to dissipate. If you don't wait - or spray enough on to start with - you will sooner or later get a case stuck.
 
Hornady One Shot is great lube. Spray it in a quart zip lock with 20-30 cases. Zip it shut and really shake and roll them around. Open the bag and let the stuff dry a bit and size them. After sizing, just wipe it with a paper towel. If you are really concerned, use a little lighter fluid on a paper towel. You don't need to spray it inside the neck, but if you do, it won't matter. I usually just tumble the casings after I resize them and the cases are clean, shiny and lube-free.

I've used it for years, never had a stuck case, as soon as I run it through the sizing die I wipe it off with a dry towel.

+1 Same here. Stand the cases up in a loading tray and spray down on them at a 45° angle from all 4 sides. That gets enough in the case mouth and on the case. Size them and wipe them off with a rag. Simple
 
No issues so far! I believe your suppose to spay the inside of you're die too.

After resizing, I wash the cases in warm water and Dawn.
