Spray on sizing lube

[survivalshop]

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Sparingly ? <laughs>

I still use the pad when making work up loads . I usually only make three of each load when working one up . 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.

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.

[survivalshop]

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.

I usethe Hornaday resizing lube with zero problems in my full size Hornaday dies all sizes not had any sticking problems. Maybe I am just lucky. <thumbsup>
