Really, shake it up ,spray, let dry. Works great. Works great on all my rifle needs.One Shot doesn't work well with bottle necked rifle. Especially if they are being run through a small base die.

Yes, that's been my experience as well. It's OK on thin small cases like 223, but tends to choke or dent shoulders in 30-06. Hard to find It's happy place there.One Shot doesn't work well with bottle necked rifle. Especially if they are being run through a small base die.

Yup. I was talking to a Forster tech one time and he told me most of the stuck rifle cases he gets folks were using one shot. Works well on pistol cases.One Shot doesn't work well with bottle necked rifle. Especially if they are being run through a small base die.
Link please, I'd much prefer non-aerosol.1 ½ oz of Hornady LIQUID one shot (not the wasteful aerosol) $5 at Midway
Castor oil you say.....some experimentation may be in order.Link please, I'd much prefer non-aerosol.
I looked at MidwayUSA.com, there are only four Hornady case lubricants currently listed; One Shot Case Lube Aerosol, Unique Case Lube, One Shot Case Sizing Wax, and Hornady Case Sizing Lube.

The only one that's five dollars is the Unique, which isn't supposed to be liquid, they say it's a paste. I've never used it.
The One Shot Pump and refills have been discontinued and were more than $5
Hornady One Shot Case Lube Refill 32oz Liquid
Hornady One-Shot Case Lube is one of the most popular case and tool lubes on the market. One-Shot Case Lube is clean, non-sticky, quick, easy to use...www.midwayusa.com
FWIW, the MSDS for the Hornady Case Sizing Lube, product #05009, says it's 100% castor oil. At $7.32 (MidwayUSA price) for 2 ounces or $3.66 per oz, I'd get it elsewhere. I did a quick look on Amazon and found 16 ounces for $7.34 or 46 cents per ounce.
Completely nontoxic which makes it a good option if you have little hands around the house. Or nosey paws.Castor oil you say.....some experimentation may be in order.
Drinking it can be a very moving experience.Castor oil worked in aero engines and race cars.

This is exactly what I use for lube formula too. Been working great for probably 8 years. No stuck cases which I have had with other methods.Liquid lanolin and a bottle of red ISO Heet from the automotive departmeant is about the best, cheapest, and easiest way to go. Get an empty spray bottle, pour in one ounce of lanolin, then the 12 ounce bottle of iso heet and mix well. In a ziplock, bowl, box, or whatever container you want put your brass and spritz with your spray. Shake the brass around then allow 5 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate and you have perfectly lubed cases. You can tumble in walnut or corncob after to remove the lube if you feel the need.
You reminded me of a read about WWI from years ago. When our boys were using aircraft powered by the LaRhone engine which used petrol mixed with castor oil it was said that who the pilots drank so much was to curb the effects of breathing the engine exhaust mixture. As a person who used to fly personal aircraft way back when, can't imagine a more frustrating situation than dealing with weak bowels when flying.Drinking it can be a very moving experience.
Yup. I was talking to a Forster tech one time and he told me most of the stuck rifle cases he gets folks were using one shot. Works well on pistol cases.
One Shot doesn't work well with bottle necked rifle. Especially if they are being run through a small base die.
Glad it works for you. Choice is a good thing. I use it for my pistol brass. I prefer Imperial Sizing Wax for rifle brass (which is more time consuming), which according to the Forster tech is smarterI have loaded thousands of rounds of 7-08, .308, .270 and 30.06 for my rifles using One Shot and never had a stuck case or any other issues. It's all in the application. A long time ago I used to sit and lube each case and inside the neck with Lee lube. It worked but time consuming and had to be applied evenly and then wiped off. Work smarter not harder...
To reduce the effort of resizing, especially very large calibers and/or cases from firearms with slightly oversized chambers. Carpel tunnel and rotator cuff strain are things to be avoided if possible. A little wax lube in the dry tumbler - or any other method one prefers, as mentioned above - is well worth the effort if it avoids weekly PT.What's the point of buying them if you're still going to use lube?
Difference of opinions is a good thing I suppose and to each his own. In regards to the Forester Techs comments that's just another personal opinion. Carry On...Glad it works for you.

Yes it is his personal opinion, but also a professional opinion( hands on with many stuck cases) as that is what he does for a living, which for me adds credence to his opinion.Difference of opinions is a good thing I suppose and to each his own.
