Hornady case lube
I tried some of the nonhazardous type case lube this week. I had used some of their lube in the past and thought I'd try the new stuff that does not harm primers or powder if it's not removed from the inside of the sized case. First off I stuck a case in the die because I didn't wait for it to completely dry. Sizing effort is double what it takes when using RCBS lube. Then I see that it leaves a sticky coating on the outside of the case. Still had to put cases in the tumbler and when I did the sticky stuff collected fines from the media and took twice as long to clean off as the RCBS. I won't be getting any more of the Hornady lube for sure.

Are you talking about the One Shot stuff? If so, it sounds like you used too much. All it takes is a quick spray (not like spraying spray paint). I usually use a 3 quick pass motion over a tray of 50 cases and I have never had the problems you are describing. 0 -
"One shot" is a pain when doing large batches of brass at one time. The Dillon spray is much better. I always tumble again after sizing and trimming (electric Dillon).. 0 -
I agree that the Dillon works much better for me at least. After I size I spray mine off with really hot water let them dry for about an hour (either in the sun or in front of a heater vent) and then toss them in the tumbler for about 30 minutes. 0 -
Like Handgun said, if it is sticky then you are using too much. I have used one shot for 2 years now and the first time I used it cause I used to much. I still like the RCBS case lube but since I haven't order anything to include some, I have just stuck with the One Shot! 0 -
I've stuck more cases back when I was using One Shot than I ever did with anything else.
Now it's strictly Reddings, Imperial Sizing die wax, it cleans up easy with a paper towel and has never caused a problem.......0
