#$&%#(^##$$%# One Shot !!!!!

[Bug Splat]

Let me remind you guys that I'm talking about the NH pump bottle One shot, not the canned stuff. I like the canned stuff and its worked fine for me in the past (when I can find it), but the NH stuff just sucks eggs.

Lanolin you can get in the drug store. It'd be around the breastfeeding gear as a nipple care product (no BS).

This is what I used to make a batch after my Dillon lube ran out. Wifey had some let over from last kid.

One word:

been using it for 20+ years.Last year I started a second tin

Um.. the people in my circle love One shot for pistol cases in progressives but swear by the Dillon case lube for anything rifle. The Dillon case lube is about as non hazardous as you can get. Lanolin in an alcohol base.. yes it's sticky, but it tumbles right off.

Using One shot spray (not pump bottle) according to the instructions gave me stuck 8mm Lebel and 30-06 cases. In fact, the Lebel cases would get so stuck that it would actually rip the rim off the shellholder! (the rim on 8mm lebel is thick). I eventually sent the dies and some brass back to Lee Precision for them to test out. They polished up the inside of the die, and recommended using Lee Resizing Lubricant instead of One Shot (of course). I have been using Lee's lube since then and have had zero issues.

That Hornady stuff seems fine for neck sizing, but then again you don't really need lube to neck size.

I've been using One shot for almost 20yrs now.... never a problem with FL dies.. Even when I have to case form for my 7mmIHMSA pistol I didn't have a problem.....

Roooollll it. I tried Imperial Wax and stuck 2 308 cases. I tried One Shot, and stuck a case. I use an RCBS pad with RCBS lubricant, never a stuck case. Go figure.

Hornady Unique Case Lube never a problem

I'm thinking that application technique makes a big difference with this product. I was using imperial sizing wax, but got tired of having to manually smear it on every case. Then I visited the reloading lab of a very good bullet manufacturer - one that publishes measured BCs for every bullet in nearly every caliber. They have over a hundred barrelled Rem 700 actions chambered in every conceivable caliber. They have four or five reloading benches in the ballistics lab, and fully instrumented 25, 100 and 300-yrd indoor ranges. All they use is One Shot.

I started using it for .223 Rem and now use it for .243 Win, .270 Win, .340 WM (belted magnum), and .50 BMG - all full-length dies. I've never had a stuck case with this product.

Here's my process: I stand up all the cases in a reloading tray. I hold the tray over a waste basket while I spray downward at the cases at a 45 degree angle (making sure to get the lube into each neck). I scan the spray bottle left to right across every case and make sure to hit each case from top to bottom. Then I rotate the cases 90 degrees and spray again. I spray all the cases from four directions. It takes about a 30 seconds to coat a tray full of cases. The key may be applying an abundant amount of spray. After the solvent dries off, there really isn't much lube on the cases. After resizing, I wipe off every case with a dry rag - very quick, clean and simple.

This is exactly how I applied the stuff. Still had failures. Maybe it's because I'm in the desert

In any case, it's no biggy. Lee Resizing Lubricant works for me.

havent had one stuck yet and it cleans off really easy just rubing them all together on a teeshirt

[One Shot, One Dropped]

I'm sorry...

All joking aside, I think you need more than 40 cases though.

[Corky43]

Imperial is the best.

I'm still load testing here. Right now I'll try to work a Load with my 40 (now 39) Norma Brass but if they don't work out I might move to Lapua brass. I'm not going to buy hundreds of cases for a wildcat load I have not even fully tested yet. 40 cases is enough for me to try a range of powder weights (8 groups of 5 shot loads). I know I'll need more but for testing it makes zero sense to buy in bulk something I may just trash if I can't find a good load. Right now its shooting .73 MOA @ 100 yards. That is not good enough. I will not stop until I get at least .25 MOA which this gun should be more than capable of shooting.

Man, the OP is all kinds of messed up.

One Shot didn't fail, the OP did.

And I didn't see anything in there about having a stuck case extraction tool on hand for dealing with the possibility.

and the thing about uneven case number? sorry, too many OCD people getting into reloading. It's a very bad combination. Can't imagine an endeavour more likely to drive the OCD bat****.
