Best way to lube casings?
 

All right, what is the best way to lube casings before depriming them? I've been told about four different ways. New to reloading and have already got a casing stuck. Do you want to be careful not to get lube on the inside of the casings?

I spray with hdy one-shot and wait a minute, then add another coat. You should have a bit of lube on the inside of the case neck. Avoid lubricating the case shoulder, especially with thick lubes like Lee so you don't dimple them. With hornady, I've never had a case shoulder dimple, but sizing was always easy with lee.

I'd go buy an RCBS stuck case remover. I damaged a die from trying otherwise.

I have moved to hornady one shot. It's not fool proof and sooner or later you will get a stuck case. But its quick. I hate the lube pad, and not a big fan of rubbing it on by hand.

Now one thing I will do is lube the inside of the neck real well.

I use the RCBS case lube and a pad for the body and powdered mica with caliber specific nylon brushes for the inside of the neck. By and far I'd say that most stuck cases are from not enough lube.

Love Imperial Sizing Wax. Used to use Vaseline and a q-tip, now the sizing wax and a q-tip. I butter the q-tip with the sizing lube, lightly put 3 vertical smears on the case body and lube the inside of the case mouth. Resize, wipe case off and use a dry q-tip to wipe out inside of case mouth.

Hornady One Shot. No muss, no fuss. And it wont contaminate primers or powder.

I use the RCBS pad/lube - it don't take much lube at all.
When I tried the One Shot spray on 7mm I was hanging up a lot of them.
I moved to the pad after calling RCBS and they said to make sure not to lube the neck.
Haven't had one hang on me since and I've done about 150 rnds.

For 13 years I have used WD-40. Spray some on your case lube pad, roll the cases then swab the inside of the neck with a Q-tip soaked in WD-40. Works awesome!!

Have some paper towels on hand to dry your hands when handling primers.

Hornady One Shot. Can't beat it. So far no stuck cases with it.
