Case Lube Preferences

[thecoltsman2006]

Just curious to see how everyone lubes thier cases and with what kind of lube. I have used RCBS case slick and lee resizing lubricant. I prefer the RCBS as it sprays on and is easier for bulk usage. Please let me know your thoughts.

 

[Yeah]

One Shot is king.

Unique case lube, and if the 2 tubs ever go dry, I'll switch to Mink Oil in the shoe dept.

I do spray the pistol cases with Teflon spray by Blaster.

Lanolin oil + 99% alcohol

I season new dies with hornady unique for first 25 then switch to one shot. If I start to have to much resistance or sticking run 5 or 10 with unique and all is good.

One shot is all I have ever used. It is available locally and I have had acceptable results.

 

[thecoltsman2006]

Thanks everyone. I will need to get some one shot. I mixed the lee lubricant today with isopropyl and will try this spray today. One shot seems easier.

Imperial and Lee

it seems like every stuck case thread I read starts with "I was using One Shot..."

It is good for sorting wits. A lot of people can get lost between 'Shake can' and 'Spray cases'.

Dillon DCL all the way. When expanding brass, for example .348 to .458 for my Alaskan, I use a powered mica lube inside the neck of the brass.

 

[Gluemanz28]

I use both the Dillon and One Shot. I use the One Shot even on my pistol cases to allow everything to run smoother.

no one is differentiating between pistol and rifle.
For me:
One shot for pistol
Dillon for rifle.

IMO One shot isn't adequate for rifle.

The only time I have had stuck cases is with One-Shot. Switched to Lee (paste) and no problems since. A little slower than a spray, if you don't count the time of extracting a stuck case or two form the die, but much cheaper. I listen to music, sitting in a comfortable chair while lubing up a tub of cases. Very relaxing. Goes very quickly when you get a system going.

One Shot is named appropriately meaning that you will give it "one shot" then toss it in the garbage.

I use liquid lanolin and 99% iso which is what the Dillon stuff it made from although much cheaper and lasts forever. Spray with a dollar store spray bottle.

Lee was is also good but a little messy. I heard of people cutting it and spraying it. Imperial works great reforming or any other hard work that needs to be done. Making 300 Black from 223 brass for example.

 

[451_Detonics]

Too much work forming that case from .223, all my 300 Whisper cases were formed from .221 Fireball brass. Much less trimming required.

STP works for me,

Where does everyone find liquid lanolin? I've looked at CVS, Walmart, and Meijer, but no luck. I figured if anyone would have it locally, one of those stores would.

It was like five bucks on Amazon
