Buckshot Bear Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 What's the method you use to apply Hornady One Shot to cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kajun Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I have a one gallon plastic bag and put a good number (200) pieces of straight wall brass in it. I spray a little bit over all the cases and then close the bag and turn in over and shake the bag up enough to spread the One Shot to other pieces. It works real well, like giving your reloaded an action job. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Dump cleaned cases into a plastic container. (Top photo.) Give it a spritz of One Shot. You do not need to soak the brass!. Shake the container from side to side three or four times and about half the brass will be mouth up. (Bottom photo.) Give it another little spritz to get some lube into some of the case mouths. Shake two or three times and let it sit for a few minutes before dumping into your case feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Spade Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 After wet tumbling with the armorall wash and wax I don't need to lube straight wall cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 After tumbling, I lay the cases out into a towel, shake the can REAL well and then spritz the cases. I roll them back and forth in the towel, give them another quick shot, roll them in the towel some more and then set them into a cartridge box until I'm ready to reload.

Chief Rick Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 When they come out of the dehydrator, they get put in loading blocks and inspected for cracks/split cases. Then I liberally spray them with One Shot, give them about 15-30 minutes to dry, and then reload. I don't like to reload bad brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I usually reload 1,000 at a time to keep track of usage and help with inventory control of components. As I am reloading I have a separation tray on a towel at the far end of the bench. As needed I put three or four handfuls of brass in the case feeder, then I give one short “spritz” of the one shot to the remainder in my tray. shake it around and repeat when the hopper gets low. The lube is fully dry when I am ready to refill the hopper, though I use the towel to clean my hands as I go. Don’t need much and it makes the machine work smoother.

That's why I always finish with putting my shells in a cartridge box (the plastic MTM boxes.) It gives me a chance to eyeball the shells and because I shoot .357 I can pick out them pesky 38s.

Sedalia Dave Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I spread then out on a cookie sheet. Inspect then for cracks, 357 mixed in this my 38 or 45s mixed in with my 44-40s. Shake the can well and give then a light spray. After they dry a little I put then into the brass bin on the side of the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Devil Dale Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I used to dump the dry cases onto a tray covered by a towel. Spray lightly, then roll them around in the towel, then let them dry. Just yesterday, here on the wire, I read and tried Jack Spade's method with Armorall auto cleaner and wax, right in the tumbler. The cases ran through the resizing die as easily or maybe better than with the One Shot. So I might be changing techniques. As an aside: Try giving the carrier of your '73 a light spritz of One Shot Case Lube after every couple stages. You'll think you got a new short stroke kit. One Shot also makes SG cases shuck more easily if you lightly spray the cylinders between stages, when you brush. A spray over your SG shells the night before a match will also make a surprising difference both in loading and shucking. I always carry a can of One Shot in my cart-- never leave home without it.

They stay open nicely! The hinged ones are awesome. Although I do miss the one handed dexterity exercises of holding the lid open with the pinky finger while putting the rounds in.

Ozark Huckleberry Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I cut a piece of an old fluorescent light waffle grid to fit into a salvaged cake pan. I shake the pan while I pour .38s, .45s, 9mm, etc. out of a coffee can into it after I tumble 'em; most of the brass ends up standing base-down and the few that don't are easy to flip. At that point I can inspect the brass, check inside for debris, look across the mouths at a low angle to separate .38 from .357. Then I take out the grid and use the tube on the nozzle to sweep a light spray across the cases at a low angle from each corner of the pan. Yes, a little gets inside and I've heard people fret about causing misfires, but it's never been an issue for me (it dries fast), and noticeably reduces the drag from the expander die.

Max Payne Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The price of One Shot has gotten crazy, along with everything else! I use the cookie sheet approach also. Dump them in the 650 & 1050 case feeders, & it spreads nicely. It's excellent that I don't have to worry about powder contamination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Just read the labels carefully. Hornady has “One Shot” Case Lube AND “One Shot” Gun Cleaner & Lube. The case lube makes a poor gun cleaner and lube…guess how I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case lube makes a poor gun cleaner and lube…guess how I know? Betcha I know how you know.... I get the case lube in the smaller cans and the gun cleaner/lube in the bigger ones. I don't use near as much case lube as I do the gun cleaner, so this way I ain't gotta rely on my excellent eyesight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 20 hours ago, G W Wade said: Mix up my own. 1 oz Lanolin to 8 or 9 oz of good isopropol alcohol in pump sprayer GW This is my method as well. The batch I've been using is 10:1 but I may go a bit heavier next time. It lasts a long time. The red bottle of "Heet" gas anti-freeze is I believe like 97% alcohol and works great. Very similar to Dillons product. I just dump my brass 200 at a time in an old narrow box cover, spray on, shake a bit, spray lightly again. I keep the cases laying flat so as not to get any in the cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I grabbed the wrong one and I was in a hurry and spayed the crap out of the internals of my S&W 327 NG then let it dry out. I reassembled it and took it to the range. The trigger pull was stiff. When I got home I saw the can on the bench. That was a slap yourself in the forehead moment.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Has anyone found a good place to order the one shot lube at a cheaper price. Local Sportsmans has them for about $15 per can.

Local Sportsmans has them for about $15 per can. I looked a bit online thinking if I ordered several or more I could find a better price. I did not. Well no. Prices on everything have gone up since January 20. I think One Shot was about 11.99 for a big can at Sportsman's. Then they ran out and the shelf was empty for a few months. Now they have it back in stock and the price has gone up. Try finding primers or powder for what it cost a year ago or gas or bacon. Welcome to the era of Build Back Better. Some things have, however, remained the same price. Left pre-pandemic can of oil. Right current can of oil. Same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Yes, that's how it is. I'm not expecting anything to be dirt cheap. I just thought I'd find some online cheaper if I was willing to buy a case of it. Thankfully I'm well stocked on primers and powder. There's a couple of powders I wish I had more of but I have others that I can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
