I use spray lube , but its not dry . I use Dillon case lube.

What's the dry stuff ?

[planeflyer21]

I'm not sure but I believe it is a teflon.

 

Which I have a can of Master Lock dry lube.

 

I'm going to give it a try.

I thought most of that dry lube was graphite based???

[planeflyer21]

It may be but this stuff is teflon.

 

Hits wet and dries in maybe 3 seconds.

   I use the Hornady "one shot", great stuff for most reloading!!!!!

   I use it for everything except case forming.

I have also had great success with Hornady one shot, excellent product and excellent results, not a dry lube but it is aerosol and very light no mess.

One shot gets the job done and used with confidence.

 I have been using Imperial Sizing die wax more often, have had the same can for 4 years now. The wax takes longer to apply.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I started calling ONE SHOT to one stuck. I followed the instructions on the can and every time I feel like I,m going to stick a case in the die so instead of chancing fate I switched to Hornady,s Unique case lube and my sizing has been silky smooth and have never looked back. 

[texas30cal]

I don't know, that sounds odd,I was using the lee paste and it worked well but had to be applied to every case just before sizing and made a mess of the die. I just lay the cases down on a paper towel with the open end facing me, spray them including inside the neck, wait for it to dry, roll them a half turn and repeat, no mess and much less effort is required than with the lee or rcbs stuff. Maybe you didn't get any in the neck and they got stuck on the expander ball? I also polish my balls (expander balls, ha ha I made a funny) with 1000 grit paper to make things go easier.

[seasprite]

I always made sure to get inside the neck even put cases in zip lock bag sprayed rolled a round then let dry still felt like I was going to stick a case, also tried using a loading block shook the can well and sprayed the hell out of the cases and let dry same results. Can this spray go bad  <dontknow>  oh well I figure I'll find somebody that reloads rifle and I'll just give them whats left in the can.

[texas30cal]

Try polishing your balls! It makes sizing much smoother and requires less effort, you can even hear a difference, that scraping sound goes away, just use very fine paper you don't want to remove any material to speak of.

[unforgiven]

Try polishing your balls!

That's what I'm talkin about. <lmao>  <lmao>

[texas30cal]

I do it every chance I get, hell I might just do it right now!

[NoFail]

^^ yeah LOL!! walked right into that one.... Ahem, eh yeah i do it too......

 

I also use this stuff called Motor Mica, an extremely fine white powder. I dont know what the hell it really is but it works like charm. No greasy left overs, can just load right after.

 

600 then 2000 grit paper for the ball polishing. I do do this and actually tried because i wanted to reduce ball diameter to increase neck tension from .002" to .003". Worked.

Sometimes i'll go back over it a smidge with 2000 just to smooth ball out again.

[texas30cal]

Where did you find paper that fine? Would like to get some for my balls.

[racerken70]

I have to ask my wife if she will help to polish my balls

[unforgiven]

I have to ask my wife if she will help to polish my balls

<laughs>  <lmao>  <laughs>

[texas30cal]

I asked last night, I got shot down. <dontknow>

[planeflyer21]

Tried that with my ex once.

 

Before I knew what happened, she'd punched me like 5 times in the nads against my thigh.

 

Curled up in a ball, I asked "What the hell did you do that for?!?"

 

"You asked me to planish you balls."

 

Don't date chicks with hearing problems.

Had to search around, found'er at non chain hardware store family owned.

Much easier on my balls after 600 grit used. To tell the truth I don't really need to lube inside when balls polished off.

[planeflyer21]

All the hardware stores around here sell wet/dry sandpaper to very fine levels, most have 800 grit, some going as high as 2000 grit.

yeah, wet dry, I do like it wet when polishng my balls.....

i switch between the imperial sizing wax and HOS. the HOS works great for 223, but I have stuck a cases when loading 30-06, and almost stuck a 308 case as well.

[Tripledeuce]

   I'v used HOS  form the 22 hornet to the 458 Win, NEVER had a stuck case.  Of course, I only spray @30 or 40 cases at a time,  And, when I use my 650, I re-spray every time I re-charge the primers, every 100 rounds.

    I also use the sizing wax when forming cases, like my 260 Rem from 308.  I like to size down, rather than expand, as I believe it gives me more neck  thickness to turn for uniformity.
