ONE SHOT LUBE

Huntsalotey · 03-13-2004, 02:54 PM

I just purchased some of the Hornady one shot lube. How much of it do you have to spray on the brass and do you have to clean the brass off after sizing from this lube? ONe more thing, is there danger in getting it on the shoulder and causing dents? Thanks

Can't speak for the Hornady brand, but I have a different brand. what I have is still petroleum based, you you still have to clean it off the case after sizing. Just like regular sizing lube, if you get too much on it, you'll get dents. It took me a few trys to get it right, but I now just lightly spray the cases in a loading block, and let them stand for a few minutes(the directions reccomend it) and then size. I haven't yet had a stuck case..knock on wood...

I use the Hornady one shot and find it to be a good product. It works better for me to spray straight from the can instead of using the little tube that comes with it. I do clean the cases after sizing. So far i haven't had any problems with dents. Good luck.

a little practice and the dents are minimal...they don't hurt the ammo except for appearance.

I load 50 cases in a loading block and spray about 1-2 seconds from each of four directions and at an angle that allows some spray to get inside the necks about 1/2-1/3 the way down.

Allow the spray time to dry and have at it.

After resizing the spray can be remover with a vibro bowl or a solvent....if you use a solvent I recommend a air compressor to thoroughly dry each case.

Hornady one shot is a great product. A little tip, put your brass into your loading block and set the edge of it on a piece of 2x4 to tilt it. Spray you cases so that the spray lubes the inside of the case mouth. A light coating is all that you need. But you have to allow it to dry.
Also, before you begin sizing - if you used the old type of case lube, you have to take your sizing die apart and clean it out. Acetone or gun scrubber does a good job.
Also you don't have to worry about case shoulder dents like you did with the "other" case lube. It doesn't have to be removed as it isn't supposed to comtaminate powder or primers. I usually size my cases and throw them into the tumbler for about 1/2 hour.
