Hornady 1-Shot (case) lube for being the cause of every stuck case reported here.

-- So I got some given to me --

OK... read the directions:
- Clean out sizing die of all other residual sizing lube (twisted-up paper towel)
- Light spray outside, and just a dash inside neck.
- LET DRY..... (3 minutes just to be safe)
- Try some stuff in the Press . . .

30-06 HXP cases from the M1.
458 WinMag from the Ruger M77.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Smoooooooth as glass going down -- and no neck squeak coming out.
I stand impressed . . . . well dried

One Shot is good stuff. A little pricey but it's clean to work with and performs as advertised.

 

[Charlie98]

I just stuck a case with it the other day... and it was totally my bad, the can was running out and I tried to stretch it. I know better.

I always tell people that... if you use OneShot, it works very well, but READ and HEED the directions.

 

[Skgreen]

I use and will continue to use OS.

The only 'complaint' I have w/OS is, at least on the 10 oz cans, over time / towards the end of the cans contents, it is possible to end up with what seems to be more propellant than lube. (You'll notice it as it requires more effort to size than before)

Maybe I'm not shaking it up enough every time.

As Charlie98 seems to have experienced something similar, perhaps it's the nature of the beast.

Otherwise, when used as directed, it works fine for me.

Don't you hate that feeling when you realize you've been wrong about something you were so adamant about!?

Takes a real man (or woman) to accept it and own up to it!

Ive never used One-Shot. I still roll cases on a pad...

 

[Charlie98]

Perhaps I'm not shaking it up enough every time,,,

You have to shake the... uh... snot out of those cans, and continue to shake it whilst you are spraying (spray a little, shake a little, etc)

 

[RockRat64]

I've done the opposite. At first all I've used is one shot. Then bought some unique case lube for sizing cast bullets. Works on brass well for cheap. However, if I'm sizing and immediately feel too much pressure to resize, I'll spray a quick shot in the neck and it slides right in

 

[Bazoo]

I like one shot. It reduces the force needed to size and that's a big deal with some presses. I've never stuck a case with anything. But I'm careful.

 

[lightman]

Reloaders seem to either love or hate OneShot. I'm somewhere in the middle. The only cases I ever stuck were when using OneShot. I'm pretty sure I followed the directions. I now use it when sizing pistol brass in carbide dies. I don't lube all pistol brass, just the harder to size calibers like 38 Super or 10MM.

Folks can try to convince you all day and night on here but you don’t know them from Adam.

Personal experience is the only way to change an opinion on something.

Personal experience is the only way to change an opinion on something.

And One Shot also myth busted to produce excellent neck tension and no bullet setback for semi-auto pistol brass wet or dry - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...affect-on-neck-tension-bullet-setback.834035/

I am a believer now.

 

[entropy]

Once I tried it, I never went back to rolling brass on a pad.

 

[kalielkslayer]

I use it on pistol brass that doesn’t need lube, but oh how smooth.

For bottle neck cartridges, I’ll still roll with RCBS.

Don’t ask me why except it has always worked!

 

[Demi-human]

I stand impressed

Welcome Brother!

Ours is not a congregation of retribution, we hope all can bask in the light of OneShot!

(You do have to wear one article of Hornady red clothing at all times though, for identification in the coming Jubilee, the holy war against the inferior Lee-anites and their heathen ways.)

Anyway, peace unto you through Joyce.






I wish it weren’t so expensive, I’d use it on everything, it’s way better than Frank’s!

Frank's Red Hot tastes better.

 

[Demi-human]

Frank's Red Hot tastes better.

But I get stuck cases…

 

[Lennyjoe]

I use it all the time. Tried it once on .50 Beowulf and had to go to Imperial wax instead. One Shot doesn’t work for .50 Beowulf and 45-70 for me.

 

[jmorris]

You should let a number of the spray on lubes “flash” before sizing the brass but most of the ones I have used do work better than Oneshot.

 

[FROGO207]

I have used One Shot in the past with OK results. No stuck cases yet. You do have to shake the snot out of it continually and let it dry enough before sizing. I moved to lanolin and heat for the cost savings. I am going to try wire pulling lube when I run out of lanolin though.

All these years I've bashing. .. .Hornady 1-Shot (case) lube for being the cause of every stuck case reported here.

That happens a lot on the internet, people bashing stuff they've never tried. All us One Shot aficionados forgive you this one time, just because we know ya. Glad you like it.

 

[Laphroaig]

My advice with One-shot is: when you think you've put on enough, give it another spritz or two. When I had stuck cases it's because I didn't put enough on.

On a similar note, has anyone ever used the Lyman spray-on lube? I haven't seen it available in some time. That stuff was almost impossible to not put on enough. I frequently got dented shoulders and usually had to resort to wiping it off with a paper towel before sizing.

You'd have to pay me to use anything with lanolin for routine case sizing, home made or commercial.

Actually tried the 11 oz tin the other day (from Midway). 1/2 teaspoonful in a spray bottle with 70% isopropyl (mix well) works just as well as the aerosol version. Smells better and is cheaper too.

EDIT: I also tried adding Mink oil at 1/4 teaspoonful to the mix at first on the advice of another old timer. Mink oil and isopropyl do NOT mix
