I just purchased some of the Hornady one shot lube. How much of it do you have to spray on the brass and do you have to clean the brass off after sizing from this lube? ONe more thing, is there danger in getting it on the shoulder and causing dents? Thanks

I like this stuff. I just spray a light coat on the cases from about 2-3 inches away, passing the spray can over the cases the way I would the first light coat of paint from a spray can. I do it an angle so that some of the lube ends up in the case necks. If it is a case that has to be modified to another diametere/shape, I'll turn the case block and do the same pass from the opposite side. I haven't had any dent problems with this method yet, although like any lube, if you use too much it will dent. I wipe the cases down after sizing with an alcohol soaked rag, cleans them up quick. FWIW - Dan

What dan said. I have used it to. It is alot faster than any other that I have used.

Hello whitey,
Just a very thin coat. It flows very well. Wipe off, or tumble. Yes, it will dent the shoulders if applied too heavily. I spray and wipe shoulder and neck. Then size to avoid dents. I use Midway spray n size now, but I've used the one shot too. RCBS makes a spray also, but I don't like it. sidewinder

I must be really slow. I got a call from a dog trainer while I was answering this post. Driving over the pass tomarrow to pick up a wire hair puppy if the wife and I like it. Came back and submitted this and now I'm third. Sorry about the repeat. I'll have to try the alcohol rag myself if I'm only doing a small batch.

I have used this quite extensively as well as various others and I prefer it to the RCBS spray which i am just finishing up my third bottle of now. I just use Methyl Hydrate on an old towel for cleanup and am careful NOT to use too thick a coat, great stuff.

I particularly like this for re-sizing H&H cases which can lube dent at their micro-shoulders so easily.

What Dan said...good stuff! I use the long narrow two row metal loading blocks that I think came from Sinclair for my 223. Easy to get spray on evenly, and easy to clean up. My plastic square trays are NASTY from accumulated lube....

I must have done something wrong. I picked up a can, took it home and sprayed over a loading block of 308 cases and stuck the first one into the die!! After pulling the stuck case, I went back to regular RCBS goo in a bottle. maybe the moon was in the wrong phase, I thought I had a pretty good coat on them.

roger, when your wifes not looking throw your plastic loading blocks in the dishwasher. They come out "shiney clean". - dan

Lar 45, I had the same results. I had better results with the Midway brand. Roger.

lar 45 and Rojelio-

When I tried the One Shot the first time I got a case stuck worse that I had ever done before. I took a punch and 4# sledge to move it.

The I took the dies apart and cleaned them with solvents and brake cleaner, scrubbing them out very thourghly, and I haven't had any trouble since.

I like the One Shot a lot, can't see using anything else ever again.

I have used one shot with great results. I use a zip-lock baggie. Place the brass in the bag, spray in a good couple of shots, zip up the bag and roll the brass around to coat. When done remove brass and stand them up, go for coffee and when I get back size away. Havent stuck a case yet.

I use a clean, empty plastic container (old peanut butter jar works fine) and fill it about half to three quarters full of brass. I then spray a bit of One Shot lube into the jar and quickly screw on the jar lid. I then shake/ roll the jar for about thirty seconds and then resize the brass. I thus avoid getting my loading blocks gunky and also don't waste lube by spraying it into the atmosphere.

I like it too. But once I got in a hurry and forgot to shake the can well. I had a stuck case! I'm convinced this is why it happened. Since then, I shake the bajeebers out of it and no problem.
