survivalshop Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I just got the spray on lube from Dillon with my 223 conversion & I have to say ,I have defiantly been behind the times .My first try , I dumped the cleaned brass in a box to spray the lube on & the container I had been keeping the cleaned brass in ( I have many containers of brass , in different stages) had some media & junk mixed with it . Well needless to say ,I had to wipe them all off because every thing stuck to that stuff.Went much better second time around , I size/deprime all rounds, than trim, clean primer pockets & debur case mouths. Than on to primer pocket swagging .The Dillon, using as just a size & deprime is a large step in production speed ,but that spray on lube is faster than I thought . I came home from work last night & went on a sizing binge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
308reloaded Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 hornady one shot case lube is great but I don't like aerosol spray cans I use RCBS case slick because I like using the pump /no aerosol and I have some frankford arsenal case lube but have not used it yet. bought it because of price and size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlancello Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have had a lot of rotten luck with spray-ons. I am old school and still use a pad with liquid or paste. I just take 3 or 4 rounds and roll them then size /deprime. I don't stick any brass in my dies ever using this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I was the same way for over thirty years , but I'm staying with the Dillon spray on lube now . Its just ten times faster & also ten times easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMoto Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I like the dillon spray in the pump for most jobs. If it is something hard to size I will use the old formula rcbs stuff on a pad. I only have 2 tubes of it left so i am using it sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less bullets to pull . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less bullets to pull .Yes, I said sparingly. Too much lube and you won't feel anything when you stroke the press... <dontknow> In all seriousness, when converting 30 cal brass to 44 auto mag the old rcbs stuff is the only stuff I know of that will net get cases stuck in the forming die.

bgc Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I just finished a batch of 7.62 and tried the Hornady One Shot. I don't know if I'm too stupid to use it(I read the instructions twice) but after the second stuck case I went back to the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Some have had problems with the one shot , not sure why , because some swear by it .I have been using the Dillon for quite a lot of loading now & I have found that ya got to leave it alone for at least 10 Min. before sizing, I usually wait longer.I would be willing to bet ,they are all basically the same formulas.
